Bob Dobbs’ Diaries: July 23/1972 (Los Angeles)

Zappa (turning his wheelchair towards Bob): Say that again.

Dobbs: The satellite environment works on four levels: first, the broadcasting level; second, the broad-catching level, or general surveillance; third, the narrowcasting level, for intelligence purposes, purchased by corporations and governments; and the fourth is narrow-catching, for monitoring the third level. You got it?

Zappa: I’ve been doing the first two levels in my music, but I think you’ve clarified what I’ve got to add to my musical concept.

Dobbs: Yeah, you’ve been on the right track with your satellite-conductor notion, but now you can refine it.
