    It's a quote of very murky origin; see http://home.pacifier.com/~ascott/they/tamildaa.htm

    To rip off Laurie Anderson, how about a square dance?

    It was definitely not Frank Zappa who made this quote. The exact quote was
    "Writing about music is like dancing about architecture" and Elvis Costello
    was the author of that quote. Makes perfect sense given Costello's dry wit.
