Same old: making things, a lot of time in the studio between here and L.A. How is 2019 treating you? Everything’s cool. It was a delight getting answers to the questions we’ve wanted to ask him for years. A cheesy move, yes, but once we chatted a few days later for the interview, we quickly realized that Frank is not the kind of person looking for a slick performance from everyone he encounters. At one point, Frank looked over and, for whatever reason, we responded with enthusiastic thumbs-up.
