Two quotes from Zappa:
"The implementation of the rock band and roll ideal for Mothers is two piccolos, two flutes, two low flutes, two oboes, one English horn, three bassoons, a contrabassoon, four clarinets (with the fourth doubling the alto clarinet), clarinet bass, bass clarinet, soprano saxophone, alto, tenor, baritone and bass, four trumpets, four French horns, three trombones, a bass trombone, tuba, bass tuba, two harps, two keyboardists playing piano, electric piano, electric harpsichord , electric harpsichord, Hammond organ, celeste, and piano under ten first violins, ten second violins, eight violas, six jealousy, four basses, four percussionists playing four timpani, chimes, gongs, drums, bells, boxes, wooden bats roar lion, vibes, xylophone and marimba, three electric guitars, a 12-string guitar, electric bass electric bass and two drummers, plus vocalists who play tambourines. And I will not be happy until it does. "
About the trial against the obscene lyrics in rock records:
1. There is no conclusive scientific evidence to support the claim that exposure to any kind of music leads the listener to commit a crime or condemn his soul to hell. 2. Masturbation is not illegal. If it is not illegal, why should it be illegal to sing about it? 3. There is no evidence that medical hairy hands, warts, or blindness are associated with masturbation or stimulation vaginal, or has been proven that hearing references to either automatically tracks the listener becomes a social risk. 4. The performance of an anti-masturbation law would be costly and would spend a long time. 5. Not enough jail space to put all children who do. (FZ Statement before the Committee on Commerce, September 1985)
