References to Virginia in Frank Zappa's work
- In the liner notes of You Are What You Is, in the text Say Cheese..., Zappa concludes: "Yes Virginia... there is a FREE Lunch. We are eating it now. Can I get you a napkin?"
- Prologue: "Once upon a time - musta been 'round October few years back in one o' dose top secret labmo-tories de gubbnint keep stashed away underneath Virginia..."
- In Z-Pack - Letter to the President, Zappa asked Ronald Reagan: "The PMRC wants ratings to start as of the date of their enactment. What will be the status of those recordings remaining from the Golden Era prior to censorship? Do they become collector's items ... or will the government order them burned in a public ceremony, somewhere in Virginia?"
- During the concert on Feb. 14, 1988 at the Tower Theater in Upper Darby (Philadelphia), Pennsylvania a fan presented Zappa with a Fleet enema (a ready to use disposable enema), and Frank informed the audience, "See this? It's a Fleet enema. You know where they make these things? Lynchburg, Virginia, exactly the same place where (televangelist) Jerry Falwell conducts his ministry. I suspect a symbiotic relationship." - They're Doing the Interview of the Century, Part 3, 1990.
