You don't know how often I have to put up with comments like that. Not to
mention his music. I currently live in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn, NY. If it's not
immediatly familiar to you, it's where most of Saturday Night Fever was
filmed. Needless to say there are a LOT of Frank fans out here, it's just
that kinda place, underlying Mob connections here and there - you get the
picture. I can appreciate that the man had a talent that some people
appreciate. He is hardly a genius though. Personally I can't stand his
music - my opinion.

I saw the video yesterday on MTV while I was at work. Who's current gimmick
is to play "U2 A-Z". Essentially playing EVERY video they have EVER produced
- that includes all the different versions. I think I heard ONE 4 times
yesterday. Now I know why I don't have cable at home.
I was a fan of theirs from waaaaayyy back in the early 80's before most
people had heard them. I was really hating that Cowboy Western thing they
started getting into with the Joshua Tree. I can only say that (thanx to
Brian Eno) I liked the direction they took on their last album. This new
one.... Ehhhhh I need time. If this is the best track they have to offer, I
don't think I will be buying it. I would rather get some of the old stuff I
don't have.
No they're not Saint's. Bono has been a bit odd over the past few years
though. Did he wack his head REALLY hard? Eat the Brown Acid (comedic
reference - see Woodstock) Something stranger?
