 "Wie jede Religion, so hat auch die platten-produzierende Verklärungsindustrie ihren Entmythologen gefunden, ihren Kaputtmacher. Zappa zersingt Pot, Polente und Politik. Er macht sich seinen dreckigen Reim auf die schmutzige Gesellschaft, ist die bissigste Beat-Laus, die sich die great society bisher in den Pelz gesetzt hat, und seine Underground-Oratorien liefern den genialsten und bösartigsten Kommentar zum American way of life und American way of politics, der je in Noten gesetzt wurde."

 '''Frank Zappa:''' A few textile producers. The record industry tries to keep in touch. Mostly not succeeding; I would say, they're behind about one year. But everything else is from some young manager; Let's say, he's about 30, fucked around a lot at the college and every nerd in the factory envies him. He says: "I know what the kids want. Look at me how young I still am." He beats his chest and does the self-importance thing. He says: "Sure I know the kids. They want something groovy. Here is for example ...". He whips it out at some meeting and then everybody goes: "Sure, address the kids. That's the way. Pop Art, yeah, yeah, yeah." And then they make some pyjamas with [[wikipedia:Campbell Soup Company|Campbell cans]] all over it and make big money. Yes, sir."<br>
-That's the way it was untill now. If only the kids would stick their heads together everywhere and take an inventory, make a programm. They could take over and manage the country. Personally it would make me sick if they started with that right now. Because they aren't able to manage anything at all. Right now they can't even go to the toilet and back again without stumbling over the wallpaper. I would say for example that in the elections 1972 it could be possible that a candidate makes it that's neither a Republican nor a Democrat, just youth-oriented.<br>

 It is possible that maybe they pass a law for the 18-years-old to vote and we could get a 18-year-old President. I know many people fear a 18 years old President, but I am more scared of a President that's over 30.<br>

 '''EVO:''' What do you think of Zen and Yoga?<br>
-'''Frank Zappa:''' I have been interested in Yoga a long time. That luckily got me off Catholizism. Let me say Eastern religions are fine, wherever you're living, but not in the United States. The best they can do for you is, say, a certain feeling of calmness, when you're far from everything, and meditate for yourself and live in abstinence. The true goals of Eastern religions, the mystic experiences and all that, to reach these goals in an industrial civilisation is difficult, if not impossible.<br>

 And I think most people claiming actually to have climbed the Satori-level somewhere here today in the United States are kidding us. And I think this kind of revelation is out of all proportion to the number of Zen-songs you can sing.<br>

 From those I have met in this so-called Undergound very few were really willing to do something. I mean, no job working your ass off 9 to 5, no bread job; I mean doing something for a cause, a real or an imaginary. Everything is so superficial, man.<br>
 Assholes! If the guys thinking to be Underground only would have devotion for 5 cents like the guys in the opposite camp ... you have ... These people keeping the war machinery going, they are really devoted to it, man. You ''have'' to be, if you do it right. The people keeping the machinery going are really sick ... but they do it with devotion. And it's the same with the ones running Madison Avenue, because they have something they believe in. And most of them tripping over their laces, or the wallpaper, or their "cosmic consciousness" or whatever.<br>
 They don't even believe that something is happening, because they are still asking themselves if fantasy is reality or reality is fantasy. They are not sure. They are completely confused.<br>
-But these guys out there, they know what's happening."I have one Dollar ... if I'm doing this and doing that I will have two Dollars. I believe in this and it is real, I will show them all."

 On Christmas Evening I was up in town and ran into such a peace march, and, man, people were walking in the street and it was cold and they were wearing shopping bags with "Stop the war" on it. There was this woman with her shopping bag and a bunch of flyers singing: ''"Stop the war in Vietnam, bring the troops back home. Stop the war in Vietnam, bring the troops back home."''<br>
