“I don't care whether I'm remembered. As a matter of fact, there's a lot of people who would like to forget about me as soon as possible, and I'm on their side! You know? Just hurry up and get it over with. I do what I do because I like doing it, I do it for my amusement first, if it amuses you that's fine. I'm happy that you'll participate in it. But, uh, after I am dead and gone, there is no need to deal with any of this stuff, because it is not written for future generations, it is not performed for future generations. It is performed for now. Get it while it's hot, you know? That's it.”

And I know that there are people out there who have the same idea of a good time as I have.
In the 25 years since Frank Zappa first astonished an audience, he and his group have expanded the horizons of his personal fusion of electronic music.
Born in Baltimore in , Zappa moved with his family to California where he first studied drums and guitar. He learned from the masters, as he told Rockwell: Most musicians learn their trade by listening to records and imitating them. While we were first starting out, all we had was Chuck Berry.
