Quotes
"The Baltimore catechism is one of the most absurd things in my recollection. It's so vivid. That little blue and white cover and the stuff that was in there. I used to have to go to catechism class and the nuns would show you charts of hell. They would flip the page back and show you the fire and monsters and shit in there that can happen to you if you do all this stuff. I'm going, "Hey, this is something. This is really exciting." But you know, I've seen worse monsters in some of the audiences we've played for, and they were probably suffering more than the ones in that fake fire on the poster." - Frank Zappa in Frank Zappa: America's Weirdest Rock Star Comes Clean, Interview by John Swenson, High Times #55, March 1980.
"They tried to make me go to Catholic school, too. It lasted a very short time. When the penguin came after me with a ruler, I was out of there." - Frank Zappa. Interview in Playboy, 1993.
