Frank Zappa Quotes
I think the music of the Fifties is really good. I suspect it’s much better musically than much of what’s available now. Not in terms of production, but in terms of content. One good believable song about some guy’s girlfriend and how they broke up - a sincere one - is better than twenty albums of English rock that’s ever been produced.
