YEP. Classic Zappa. It's along the lines of the Nike slogan, "Just Do It."

Minnesota Public Radio has a local station called The Current. No commercials (public radio) except their own promotional spots. They will play just about anything, and there are several different weekly programs focusing on local (Minnesota) music or different genres, etc.

No wonder I don't know him. I essentially stopped listening to pop music before the Beatles were big, and by 1966 I was already reaching back to the Big Band era. I have been listening to the 1940's ever since.
Haha...I don't think *anyone* would put Frank in the pop music catagory.

There is an excellent biography of Frank Zappa on Amazon Prime. The rental price today is 98 cents. Well worth it.

Really? You cannot come up with something original like your own thoughts?
I was dumbfounded when I read this reply. So in your mind, if I post a recipe for a cake or a book recommendation, I should instead come up with my own recipe or write my own book? If I post a link to a performance of a musical composition that inspires me, I should instead write my own music? If I post a joke, I should instead make up my own joke? Really?

Zappa is also famous for the line, “There is more stupidity than hydrogen in the universe, and it has a longer shelf life.”
A quote that seems more germane to Wrong-wrong-no.

The assertion of FZ does not apply to my photographic work. I saw early that selling my photographs would introduce a bias in my efforts. I could not but lean toward money shots over my inclination to follow my eye when deciding what to photograph. I never accept money for my photographs.
I have no problem accepting money for my photos, but I don’t actively try to sell. Although I will say that most of what I have sold is wildlife, and while I do enjoy shooting wildlife, I mainly shoot it because I do it while I’m kayaking or hiking and I’m often kayaking or hiking.

Who was Frank Zappa?
When I was younger, I wasn’t much of a Frank Zappa fan. I later came to enjoy his music and appreciate the lyrics.
As for quoting his lyrics, it is a matter of understanding the context.
