I didn’t really hear any other music other than what my dad was working on until I was 12.

The thing with food is that you can give 20 people the same recipe and the same ingredients, and somebody’s going to make it better than somebody else, and that’s the creativity of it. It’s like music. You could have a bunch of people playing the same piece, and somebody’s gonna play it better. Dweezil Zappa Read Quote
Modern records are all made with virtually identical gear, software plug-ins and everything. Everybody wants everything to sound like the last thing that was popular because they’re chasing their tails. Dweezil Zappa Read Quote
