I had to work in four hours and decided sleep was necessary, but really honoured to have FB come by and to somewhat indirectly work for him however I may. The site, podcasts, covers, and original music shall continue!

Hi Frank,

Did i hear correctly that your mother was "very religious"?
Because if she prayed to God that He would bless your music and use it somehow to glorify Him. Then He has done it! Your music has blessed me more then any other, christian or non-christian.

Praise God for your talent!

Hey Frank!
I just found out that there is a Charles Thompson Bridge in

I don't purport to be frnck blck, but it's definitely referring to the Globe, AZ place. See frnck's lyrics link http://forum.frankblack.net/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=15672

Perhaps my inquiry helped inspire him to write the song. See link, top of the page... http://forum.frankblack.net/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=3015&whichpage=30

I find this attitude a little bit patronising, maybe Frank rocks because he works hard at it not because it's some god given gift, its fine if you choose to be religious but don't you think that approaching things from this angle takes away credit from and belittles humanity? But anyway at the end of the day it's great that people enjoy his music regardless, I'm not trying to start a debate here.

Hi, it's my birthday today (the 1st of April) I don't know in USA but in France it's the joke's day. But it's really my birthday. And my mother who only knows where is my mind (thanks to AOL) offered me honeycomb. I'm quite surprised. I'm actually listening this and I think to myself is it possible to see you in France in solo or anywhere else in France. I have seen the pixies twice but never you alone. I have another question. What do you use in concert for acoustic guitar please?

Thanks for your music
Thanks for all
Thanks for reading me
Prenez soin de vous
And have a nice day

Jonathan

We call it April Fool's Day here.

Last year on April Fools Day my French teacher told me that in France they call it 'Avril poisson' day (or something like that). Now I know (or at least think) that poisson means fish. So, is there any truth in the French calling it 'April fish day', or was she just trying to fool me?

We have no special name for the day - we call it the 1st of April -, but pranks you play on that day are indeed called "poisson d'avril" (April fish). I have no idea why this day is associated to fish here. A popular gag among kids involves sticking a paper fish to the back of unsuspecting people.

Yeah, my teacher was walking round the class sticking paper fish to pupils backs without them knowing, which I thought was rather strange at the time.

Y'know what? I've just realised that I actually miss doing French lessons at school!

I always wondered about that: why do some english kids chose to learn French at school? I mean, instead of Spanish or German for instance. Are they many?

At my old school you would learn either French or German (but didn't have a choice in which one). But I know some people at my college who did Spanish when they were at school, so I guess it just depends entirely on what the school chooses to teach.
But I suppose I would rather have done Spanish had it been an option.

Hmm I seem to remember being told a long time ago that the way April fools day (Avril trompe jour?) started was that people would stick actual fish to each others backs.

I think the usual thing (back when a language was compulsory) was for everyone to do French until 10th grade, and then to choose to continue and/or to do another language (at my school, German or Italian - no Spanish). French for English kids is like Spanish for American kids, so most people learn it. Why? Geographical reasons, I guess. And it's not like French is this obscure unimportant language.

On topic, anyway: hey Frank, was I wrong about the links between the songs (on page 40)? If not - well, I may not be in Oregon for much longer...!

And I remember that someone here is an Evil Superstars fan, but (hey Frank, again) do you know dEUS? I know there's an Eric Drew Feldman connection, at least.

I just love being able to write "hey, Frank".

Most of the kids in my school took Spanish, but I took German. I always have to be different.
