Frank Zappa about Oceania
"But the original Suzy Creamcheese was a figment of my imagination that occurred during a tour, a three weeks stay in Hawaii, when we're working in a horrible club there called Da Swamp. (...) I shuddered to think who actually owned "Da Swamp" but our clientel was sailors of the world. One of … the most exciting night that we had there, oh, there were two exciting nights, one I can't tell you on the air, and the other one was the time we had some sailors from New Zealand come in. And they're really drunk and were dancing with each other, it was really quite picturesque. It's like New Zealand sailors dancing together, it was real good (...) and there was nothing to do, Hawaii is a dull place." - Suzy Creamcheese (What's Got Into You?) (Interview with Frank Zappa for KBEY-FM, Kansas City, MO, 22 October 1971.
Why not try it in New Zealand? Our unions are very small and much less powerful than the ones in Oz. Frank Zappa: "I would be delighted to talk to anybody from the New Zealand consulate about this idea. Putting something like this in your part of the world would be attractive to artists from the rest of the world, just because your part of the world seems to be much more carefree and less stressful than the places they're looking at working now. (...) The PR value would be fantastic if New Zealand said it was a good idea. People would pay attention to you, it isn't just about sheep any more. People would be upset about that I'm sure." - Frank Zappa in Way Down In New Zealand, Gary Steel, T'Mershi Duween #20-21, July-September 1991.
