Not trying to ruffle anyone's feathers here, and not questioning anyone's sexuality, but every once in awhile, listening to a frank song, I think "that sounded a bit gay." So I was wondering if anyone else noted lines that made them wonder.
Here are 2 examples for me:
Fiddle riddle-
Once stood a man on my face
Ooh yeah, on my face
Gobbled him up 'cause my taste
Leaves nothing to waste
and Suffering:
I hung around in a leather bar
Oh and, yeah I know frank is married and has kids and has written a bunch of songs about women and so forth. This is more about how the words can be interpreted or misinterpreted, hopefully to some humorous effect.

My guess is just pure humor. |

Don't let it bug you or chase you away. Almost anytime anybody goes where this topic does they get shit like this. It stimulates some insecurities and some folks feel the need to assert their tolerance, their masculinity, or whatever it is.

I knew when I included the lyrics to fiddle riddle that the song is actually about the earth (that's why I included misinterpretation in my explanation).
The New Bolero, I'm totally comfortable with the intermingling of rock and homoeroticism (anyone who doubts that the two can "go together" should listen to some of the great music by bands like queen, pet shop boys, bob dylan, etc. etc.) and no, I don't subscribe to the school of bill o'reilly.
No need to be condescending, Mrgrieves1971, I think I repeatedly wrote that I wasn't asserting that Frank Black is or is not homosexual, but I do appreciate the star wars reference =).
Jefery, thanks for your comments and your thoughtfulness in expressing them. I agree that, in the huge vastness that is the Frank Black song base, there is room for multiple interpretations and perspectives.

lol, seriously. None of the lyrics you guys posted ever struck me as being gay. Maybe it's because I don't have gay on the mind.

If it's "taco" as in "tuna taco," I hardly think that's gay.
Not that there's anything wrong with that. |

I'm an old Pixies fan. In college (early 90's) the group I hung with was full of Pixies fans. Common thought back then was that Frank Black was gay. It was probably a mistake, but that's what we thought. Rumor had it, him and Bob Mould had a thing for a while. Not saying it's true, just sharing some memories. |

Do you think "teabagging" is humorous? ;)
I had an unfortunate dream about teabagging once. It was very unfortunate, and one of those thing youe just don't forget.
josephmichael, I don't think people should get angry when the topic of homosexuality is breached. That's the only point I was trying to make. Let's just talk about it. There's a very great possibility that in the 350+ (what's the count now?) songs that FB has written that some of them are probably about sexuality, including homosexuality. It's a very interesting topic, especially since if you aren't gay, you can't possibly know what it feels like.
And "kicked in the taco" - what exactly does he mean by "kicked"? Discuss.
