Frank Zappa about New York

"The New York audience is special, it's a different bunch of people there. And also, at the time that we showed up, we were so out of phase with everything that was happening in that city. It was great just to be totally abstruse. You could do anything. And because they were New Yorkers, they would at least consider it. You couldn't do that in Hollywood. You couldn't do it in Paris. You couldn't do it in London." - Frank Zappa in Frank's Wild Years, 87-3, interview by Steve Lyons and Batya Friedman, Option, March/April 1987.
