»Politics is the Entertainment Branch of Industry«

Frank Zappa

Rumours spread also the quote:

»Politics is the Entertainment Division of the Military-Industrial Complex«

Although this quote might well fit into Zappa’s intentions, it cannot really be verified. It turned up in the interent only in 2002, nine years after his death in 1993.
