[Frank] Zappa denied that he had ever eaten faeces during a concert. “I never performed this act on stage, ” he said. “The nearest I ever came to it anywhere was at the Holiday Inn buffet at Fayetteville, North Carolina, in 1973.”

When MGM gave [the Mothers - the original name of his band] a record contract it objected to their name for its connotations of obscene abuse. “Out of necessity,” Zappa said, “we became the Mothers of Invention.”

"I ask those [homosexuals] to show their thanks by comporting themselves quietly and with dignity . . . Any form of ostentatious behaviour now or in the future or any form of public flaunting would be utterly distasteful."

Lord Arran, sponsoring a Bill in the House of Lords to partially decriminalise male homosexuality, 1967

In his generous instincts, in his devotion to a comrade, and in his healthy, direct outlook on the affairs of workaday life the ordinary Russian seems to me to bear a marked similarity to an average American. The two peoples have maintained an unbroken friendship that dates back to the birth of the United states as an independent Republic. Both are free from the stigma of colonial empire-building by force.

General Eisenhower, 1945

Perhaps I should explain that I do not post these words of Eisenhower’s, or my previous post which I titled ‘A request to homosexuals’, because I agree with them – but because I hope they are interesting, or surprising, and because they seem to evoke the period they come from.

But I acknowledge that, if I had belonged to Eisenhower’s generation, or to Lord Arran’s generation, I might have agreed with them at the time.

Nous sommes friands de tout ce qui peut nous apporter un peu de lumière sur nos propres réactions ; or nous n’avons ni le temps ni les moyens d’aller puiser ces informations dans les revues scientifiques, où elles sont fournies avec mille détails, mais aussi avec mille précautions, et où chaque résultat est accompagné de la délimitation de son domaine de validité. Une large place est ainsi laissée à une vulgarisation biaisée qui, sous le couvert d’une présentation des apports de la science, diffuse les affirmations dogmatique d’une idéologie.

We are fond of anything that can shed some light on our own reactions; but we have neither the time nor the means to draw this information from the scientific journals, where they are provided with a thousand details, but also with a thousand precautions, and where each result is accompanied by the delimitation of its field of validity. A large place is thus left to a skewed popularization which, under the cover of a presentation of the contributions of science, diffuses the dogmatic assertions of an ideology.
