Long before Frank became Frank, he was a neighbor of mine in Harbor City, California. I knew him as Chucky Thompson and one summer Chucky set up a little bread baking business and sold loafs around the neighborhood. Not sure if he made much money... but the bread was pretty good. |

Frank's last album was kinda crummy, a lot of half-baked ideas, but I'm glad to say this new one is a lot butter.

Frank's makin' a lot of dough now.
Has somebody already said that? :D

Yeah, I've got a cover of that song by a band called The Reivers that I really like. Sounds like Pavement.

"Brandy" by The Looking Glass.

HEY FRANK... MAYBE YOU SHOULD DO A COVER OF THIS? |

The baking business is very dog eat dog. You're top of the loaves one week, bottom of the breadbin the next.

Ha, I have no delusions of grandeur- the music business is shit and I'll never get signed. Maybe the yeast business will treat me better.

Okay gang, I got just a couple of memories left of my childhood friend Chucky Thompson. I wish I had more for you but I toasted my brain in the 80's smoking way to much herb.
Anyway, as I mentioned, the family was quite religious. My family was Catholic and there was a large and very popular Catholic church near the Jr. High that Chucky, his aunt Dee Dee and I attended. My family attended that church. Suprisingly enough, Chucky and his family did not attend the Catholic church. I went with them a few times to their church, which was very near our school too. This church was a born-again Christian church and was a lot more fun to visit. They had a rock band playing Christian music and the congregation sang along and closed their eyes and held their arms out in front of them - palms up. This was very new to me but Chucky and his family were way into it.
Now I'm just guessing here, but later in life Chucky decided that "Frank Black and the Catholics" just had a better ring to it then "Frank Black and the Born-Again Christians."
The last thing that sticks in my mind about my time with Chucky, his aunt Dee Dee and his little bother(no type-o) Errol is the song "Brandy" by The Looking Glass. The four of us used to sit in Dee Dee's little patio behind her condo and play the tape of that song over and over. Chucky would strum his accoustic guitar and Dee Dee and I would sing it. To this day when I hear that song I think of us on that patio.
That's pretty much all I got... we were all young teens and I was way more interested in Dee Dee than I was her chubby little nephews Chucky and Errol. I can tell you this though, if you had told me at that time that Chucky would go on to be a rock star, I would not have believed it.
"The sailors say, 'Brandy you are a fine girl, what a good wife you would be - such a fine girl - but my life, my love, my lady - is the sea...."

This makes me tear up. I was also my little brother's protector/torturer throughout our childhood. I think I did more torturin' than I did protectin' but he still loves me nonetheless. |
