"A Token of My Extreme", by Frank Zappa, is a song on the 1979 concept album Joe's Garage. The main character from this triple-album rock-opera has his mind messed-up by Lucille then "finally does something right" and "pays a lot of money to L. Ron Hoover and the First Church of Appliantology." This is an apparent jab at Scientology and its founder L. Ron Hubbard. Joe, doubting his sanity, asks 'mystical advisor' L. Ron Hoover what his problem is and is told that he is "a latent appliance-fetishist." Joe asks if it is time "to come out of the closet," and is told that he should remain there, where he can have "a lot of fun" achieving sexual gratification using machines. Joe is informed that the best appliances speak foreign languages, which leads to the next song, "Stick it out".
