Quarantine Mini - Frank, Talkin' Frank and Billie and Bob Dylan
Added 2020-05-13 19:27:13 +0000 UTCIn a special, outside-the-paywall edition, my old pal Frank Conniff joins me as we pick up a discussion we started 27 years ago.

Frank mentioned buying a box set. That reminds me of a funny story when I was a kid in the 80s. My dad bought a CD or Huey Lewis's greatest hits by The Band. It had in large print HUEY LEWIS'S HITs with small print "by the Band". It was, of course not Huey Lewis. It was his music performed by a band called The Band. We were so disappointed. My dad kept saying well it's still good we should listen to it. My brother and I were like this sucks! I'm sure my dad was a little embarrassed which is why he wanted to keep saying let's listen to it. It has nothing to do with Billie Holiday, Frank conniff, or Mike Nelson. But it's pretty funny story to me.

2020-05-15 16:26:29 +0000 UTCI have a very important criteria for dating- I have not and will not ever date someone who doesn't like MST3K before I meet them. It's not worth my time.

2020-05-15 16:25:35 +0000 UTCI loved the way Mike described Billie Holiday's voice on "Lady in Satin." I heard Freddie Mercury's latest stuff first (one of my earliest memories is of his death, and the first song I remember hearing is "These are the Days of our Lives"). I feel very similar--I honestly don't know if I could appreciate the earlier part of his career and music fully if I didn't love his later stuff first. Thanks for this!
