Making Out With Black Francis

That Girl, the Palinode, and I went to see Black Francis, aka Frank Black, aka Charles Michael Kittridge Thompson IV, front man for the Pixies, and a fantastic performer who inspired me to want to reach out and touch his shoes in a freaky caress that would have made the Beatles blush, but I digress. I SAW BLACK FRANCIS LAST NIGHT, AND NOW I AM A VERY HAPPY PERSON.

My inner twenty-year-old

swooned

and sang along

to almost every damn song

when I wasn't secretly salivating

behind my camera,

and I remembered

that good music

can put the shine back on the world.

Thank you, Black Francis.

The End.

Damn. I am wicked jealous! Awesome pics (and post). I met a man. He was a good man...

[palinode]

That was the song he started with.

You people are killin' me.

How I wanted to be Kim Deal when I was younger. If there were Pixies action figures, I would have always hogged the Kim Deal one. I got to see them in Vancouver in 1992. Still wish I had sprung for a T shirt.

You lucky people. I'm glad you had such a great time.

This looks like fun, I kinda wanna lick him.

[Sarah, Goon Squad Sarah]

I cannot believe you were that close to Frank Black.

I am consumed with jealousy.

[Schmutzie]

Sarah, Goon Squad Sarah, there's still something sexy about that man.

Wow, nice front row spot! So jealous. I've loved The Pixies since I was 15 years old, and I still break out Doolittle every so often.

[GingerB]

Oh! Doolittle! Hell's bells, I gotta replace all my old cassettes.

"Good music can put the shine back on the world." Exactly! Love it love it love it. Every time I go to a great show, I wonder why I don't go to more. Glad you enjoyed.
