Some scientists claim that hydrogen, because it is so plentiful, is the basic building block of the universe. I dispute that. I say there is more stupidity than hydrogen, and that is the basic building block of the universe.

"The PMRC proposal is an ill-conceived piece of nonsense which fails to deliver any real benefits to children, infringes the civil liberties of people who are not children and promises to keep the courts busy for years dealing with the interpretational and enforcemental problems inherent in the proposal's design.

"It is my understanding that, in law, First Amendment issues are decided with a preference for the least restrictive alternative. In this context, the PMRC's demands are the equivalent of treating dandruff by decapitation."

Me like Frank Zappa :-D

just had this brought to my attention: "Zappa: A Biography" by Barry Miles

PUBLISHER COMMENTS  The definitive biography of religion-baiting, Republican-hating,  chain-smoking, coffee-addicted, classically trained guitar virtuoso  Frank Zappa.    

Ten years after his death, Frank Zappa continues to influence  popular culture. With almost one hundred recordings still in print  ? from his revolutionary work with the Mothers of Invention to  his influential first solo album, Lumpy Gravy ? Frank Zappa remains  a classic American icon. Scores of bands have been influenced  by (and have shamelessly imitated) Zappa's music, and a talented  roster of musicians passed through Zappa's bands, including Captain  Beefheart, Jean-Luc Ponty, George Duke, Lowell George, and Steve  Vai. Now comes the definitive biography of Zappa by best-selling  author Barry Miles, who knew Zappa personally and was present  at the recording of some of his most important albums.    

Miles follows Zappa from his sickly Italian-American childhood  in the 1940s (his father worked for the military and was used  to test how effective new biological warfare agents were) to his  youthful pursuit of what was a lifelong dream: becoming a classical  composer. Zappa brings together the many different personalities  of this music legend together for the first time: the self-taught  musician and composer who gained fame with the "rock" band the  Mothers of Invention; the political antagonist who mocked presidents  while being invited by Václav Havel to represent Czechoslovakia's  cultural interests in the United States; and Zappa the family  man who was married to the same woman for over thirty years.    

Rebel, performer, and a true musical visionary, "Zappa" is a brilliant  and sweeping portrait of an American legend, written by one of  rock music's most respected biographers.
