Never miss a chance to have sex or appear on television.

Summary

This quote, often attributed to the late American musician and actor, Frank Zappa, can be interpreted as a satirical comment on our society's obsession with two main entertainment-related aspects of life: sex and fame. It suggests that one should seize any opportunity to engage in these activities, highlighting a culture that values physical pleasure and public recognition above other pursuits or responsibilities. While intended as a humorous remark, it can be seen as a critique of the prioritization of hedonism and superficiality in modern culture.

It's apparent that we can't proceed any further without a name for this institutionalized garrulousness, this psychological patter, this need to catalogue the ego's condition. Let's call it psychobabble, this spirit which now tyrannizes conversation in the seventies.
