Folk Music: the anti-drug

Here are those east coast solo dates. (People who have attended this thing in the past will notice it's a much shorter list than usual-- the reasons for this are too boring to go into. It's sad that we won't be doing two NY shows this time, but we'll just have to make the one at the Living Room count, won't we?)

All shows are with Lesbian folk heroine Phranc, Ian Brennan, and others. Note that the Cambridge, Mass. experience includes John Waters. I opened for his one-man lecture-show last year at the Trocadero in Philadelphia, to the bewilderment, I guess, of his fans. OK, I was pretty nervous and probably didn't do all that well. Still it was great fun. He's a really nice guy, just as funny as you might imagine.

(Also, don't forget the MTX (w/Groovie Ghoulies, Helper Monkeys and Riff Randalls) at the Boardwalk in Orangevale, Friday March 26.)

See ya there.

Aw, man, no Baltimore show... although after the Talking Head debacle I don't blame you.

Amused to see that you're the last person in the Bay Area who still capitalizes "Lesbian."

A Philly show! Yea!

Look forward to seeing you then, Frank.

Imagine if Phranc got a Ph.D. Then we'd all have to say, "Dr. Frank, the straight one" versus "Dr. Phranc, the lesbian one".

"The one who writes Songs About Girls" just wouldn't cut it anymore.

I believe DF's capitalizing of Lesbian was part of the terms of his release from Feminist Jail after the "Swallow Everything" debacle. But the statute of limitations should be about up on that one. Alternately, she might actually be from the isle of Lesbos...
