Everyone go out and get Frank's Wild Years tomorrow, if you don't already have it. If you don't know who it's by then this assignment is especially for you. One of the most brilliant albums ever recorded, I just rediscovered it after a 2 year hiatus. It's fuckin' killer!!!!

Yeah, I used to feel the same way about swordfishtrombones(I even have it on vinyl), but I changed my mind today. Bone Machine is of course debatable, some would say Rain Dogs is better, but I think Frank's would be better than both at converting a newbie.

Well Frank settled down in the Valley

and hung his wild years

on a nail that he drove through

his wife's forehead

he sold used office furniture

out there on San Fernando Road

and assumed a $30,000 loan

at 15 1/4 % and put down payment

on a little two bedroom place

his wife was a spent piece of used jet trash

made good bloody marys

kept her mouth shut most of the time

had a little Chihuahua named Carlos

that had some kind of skin disease

and was totally blind. They had a

thoroughly modern kitchen

self-cleaning oven (the whole bit)

Frank drove a little sedan

they were so happy

 

One night Frank was on his way home

from work, stopped at the liquor store,

picked up a couple Mickey's Big Mouths

drank 'em in the car on his way

to the Shell station, he got a gallon of

gas in a can, drove home, doused

everything in the house, torched it,

parked across the street, laughing,

watching it burn, all Halloween

orange and chimney red then

Frank put on a top forty station

got on the Hollywood Freeway

headed north

 

Never could stand that dog
