“I think it’s really tragic when people get serious about stuff. It’s such an absurdity to take anything really seriously … I make an honest attempt not to take anything seriously: I worked that attitude out about the time I was eighteen, I mean, what does it all mean when you get right down to it, what’s the story here? Being alive is so weird.”
—Frank Zappa (via lifeisclarity)

“Today, “OK” is probably one of the most universally known English words. But it originated in 1839 as a joke, mocking the semi-literate, who supposedly spelled “all correct” as “oll korrect”. Basically, OK was the “Get a Brain! MORANS” of its day.”

Rolling Stones - Emotional Rescue
Literally woke up humming this song. No idea why.
“Try to imagine what the opposite of loneliness is. Think of it. Everyone in the world loves you? What is that? Realize you are in isolation. Live it! Enjoy it! Just be glad there aren’t a bunch of people who want to use up your time. Because along with all the love and admiration that’s going to come from the people that would keep your from being lonely, there is the emotional freight you have to bear from people who are wasting your time and you can’t get that back.”
—Frank Zappa (The Frank Zappa Book)
