Why is instrumental music irrelevant ??

....from Zappa's The RealFrank Zappa Book (1989)…
"My lyrics are there for entertainment purposes only--not to be taken internally. Some of them are truly stupid, some are slightly less stupid and a few of them are sort of funny. Apart from the snide political stuff, which I enjoy writing, the rest of the lyrics wouldn't exist at all if it weren't for the fact that we live in a society where instrumental music is irrelevant--so if a guy expects to earn a living by providing musical entertainment for folks in the U.S.A., he'd better figure out how to do something with a human voice plopped on it."
its all instrumental
Apearently  FZ recorded  many instrumental tracks  and even albums.  
Synclavier  based albums  Francesco Zappa released in 1984, and Jazz From Hell released in 1986 (also a Grammy Award-winning album for Best Rock Instrumental Performance) are all instrumental.
And the orchestral albums Orchestral Favorites, 200 Motels, Lumpy Gravy, London Symphony Orchestra are almost all instrumental.

Check out this list of most common instrumental  tunes composed by great FZ.
