Hey thanks DaisyGirl, he looks like his mother, but he's got his dad's kickass attitude...
How 'bout that eyeliner...it made "Subbacultcha" ring a little truer when they played it that night, if you know what I mean...
And, I'm telling you, I'm pretty sure my theory is correct and those were "The Sicilian (Nashville 2)" charts and other important documents in those 2 leather briefcases The Man was carrying...
Oh yeah, I got a couple of other "priceless" photos with my son and Kelley that I'll post here I guess, as long as His Highness doesn't mind. I don't think he will, after all it was a Pixies show... |

Highest Hospodar,
When looking at these pictures I was reminded
that Kim's family, Kelley and their dad, attended
the show at the Ryman Auditorium, Oct. 6, 2004,
and not only did I want to post these pictures for
DaisyGirl, et al, but I also was wondering if any of
your family will be attending any of your upcoming shows
with any of the bands you'll be playing with in the near future.
Your Servant,
OldManIna"GrandOleOpry"CoffeeCan

Thanks guys, and you're right, he does get an abundance of coolness from his dad,
and he was too cool for school the next day, which was a Thursday,
we both took a musical holiday and slept in!
Guitar Man, no such luck that being my signed guitar, it belonged to a kid (John or Chris)
from Clarksville or somewhere about 1 1/2 hours from here, he had been hanging in the alley
at Jack's BBQ just a few feet from the stage backdoor since 4 p.m. Garrett, my brother, and myself came
up the alley about 1 hour before the warm up band and found Kelley hanging out on the steps,
the guitar playing came later after Frank and the Band signed it.
Hey check it out, I'm getting my girl Heidi to scan a few pictures that I hope to post in a
couple of hours from now. They will be in The Mercy Lounge thread concerning the Cumberland Run and
my '66 Ford Galaxie, that I wanted to take, unfortunately she needs a
lot of work now, maybe next year, and my second trip to Graceland with Mrs. CoffeeCan,
trippin over graves and such...

Fuckin' Aye Carl, come on, we'll take you in...I mean you've got at least two great things going for you:
1. You're a big fan of The Man... 2. You're Irish!

So, when can I come over for dinner, cousin OldManInaCoffeeCan? (hee-hee!)

Hey Cuz', you come on over for dinner anytime you're hungry,
Mrs. CoffeeCan is a great cook, nothing fancy mind you, just good
'ole southern cooking (not because she's incapable of fancy cooking, it's just that
I prefer southern cooking and she want's to keep her man happy!),
you know lots of animal fats and black iron skillets.
And, hey, I've always enjoyed hanging with my Irish friends.
When I lived in New York and went out with Mikey, or Jimmy,
or Sean, I knew I could count of two things that night,
1. We were going to get very drunk, and 2. We were going to
get into a least one fist fight at the bars (I think those are two important
reasons why I always got along so well with my Irish buddies, that is because getting drunk
and fighting are very "redneck" things to do,
and I've got a lot of redneck in me, and I'm somewhat proud of it... |

Yeah, but you saw some fights, didn't you?
I don't really like to fight that much, especially since there are a lot of knuckleheads out there with guns and it's hard to get a regular fist fight nowadays.
But I love the "Fuck you, don't give me any shit" attitude my Irish and redneck buddies have. |

Hey guys, thanks for the props....But, it's like The Man sings in "The Scene",
I've got no connections...
However, I do have a lot of balls and luck, and I rather be cocky and lucky
than humble and good any day! (ha!)

Mr. Thompson,
Thanks for this thread.
My daughter and I thank you grandiosely for your June 2nd (late show) at the Wiltern. I hope I don't sound like a smart ass, could you tell that the crowd was asking for at least six more songs? That was one of the best Ovations, person for person, I have heard for any group ever, including: Led Zeppelin. Stones, The Who, Bowie.
Good post from the U Mass student about the Andalusian Dog.
Have you seen "The Somnambulist"? Great noir. Film study rocks.

There seems to be much concern over the fact that I don't say much during my gigs. I have never in 17 years chatted from the stage. It is not my style. Most of the crowd is there to hear music and could care less about what I might have to say as a citizen. If I made pop music and played to thousands of people a night, maybe my demeanor would be a little different. I play arty rock music on the arty rock music circuit. It has never been my expectation that one should be chatty in this arena. That has never been my experience when I am a patron. And if I don't do an encore it isn't because I'm "in a bad mood". It's because the audience didn't really ask for one. Basically, I, the artist, don't deserve to take an encore if it is not demanded. The oft performed encore is a classic example of theatrical tradition becoming watered-down, dumbed-down, and meaningless. It's a real shame. I am a guitar player. I am not a dancing bear....I am a singer. I am not a dancing bear... I am a guy loading a trailer. I am not a dancing bear... I am a cabaret singer. I am not a dancing bear... Sometimes people think that I am rude when I don't switch into that dancing bear routine. I am not complaining. I adore playing music to the people that support my art. But I am not a fucking dancing bear... I may look like a dancing bear! Sure. I admit it.

As opposed to being a total stranger. Which I'm not. Cuz I'm his girlfriend. Yup.
Malax and Realmean, are you guys THAT bored that you have nothing better to do than to get on
a complete and total stranger's case and be randomly cruel to that person (who happens to be Frank Black's girlfriend...)??? I should be so lucky to have that sort of free time in indulge in random acts of emotional cruelty. But I don't. Because, in addition to being the full-time girlfriend of Frank Black's (did I mention that?!?) I'm a grad student, museum worker and a mother. I'm probably older and wiser than either of you. So have some bloody respect. Drink some chamomile tea or something and chill. My word.
By the way: I'M...TELLING...MY...BOYFRIEND!!
Yours,
Frank Black's Girlfriend

Please don't tell "The Man" to stay off the thread. Don't let a few idiots wreck it for all of us. I am only to p. 18 and hopefully will learn more from the Blackster.

Iyi YIii!
This is too wierd.
Even Frank Black is too wierd.
but I suppose that is why we all come here
and share.
ART roCK ???????????????????????
gEt OVER it -the Art Rock happened in the '80s
now it is time to just make some art.
and call it music.
you have been doing a great job so far the past years.
To be honest as far as my opinions and perceptions I think
as good a musicians as the Pixis are they better do a new LP
soon or at least some covers to break up the sets.
'Cause some of these teen angst 'art rocck' songs are getting dog-tired
to these ears -especially when I know the perpetrators are capable
of mo' better.

maybe he'll get banned too for posting offending material such as his dislike of that pixies biography and the guy who wrote it. i mean after all he offends the author's sensibility that could remain traumatized for not being the next hemingway. and as the new master teaches "thou shall not post material that make an average person feel inadeguate".
