Frank Zappa on "The Big Stupid"
"The Very Big Stupid is a thing which breeds by eating The Future. Have you seen it? It sometimes disguises itself as a good-looking quarterly bottom line, derived by closing the R&D department."

Zappa passed way in 1993. Looks like The Future may have been devoured in the meantime.

Or as I say: The Big Stupid - we're soaking in it.

6. Frank Vincent
He cleared that up in his autobiography, lol. It turned out, when he first needed to go to Europe, he needed a passport. He called his mother, who sent him his birth certificate. His real name (to his surprise) was Frank Vincent Zappa. He always had though he was named after his father, Francis. So when you see Francis on his old albums, it was before he knew, lol.

He was also not born in Kenya.
