FRANKIE VENOM
Always liked this picture of Frank from a show at the Underground last year. At 50, I don't think I could even sit like this anymore let alone play the harmonica as well. It just wouldn't occur to me to try. Photo by Janice Bielski.
This is a familiar position for Frank 8) Seen him in it soooo many times and various conditions. First time I saw him like that was when you guys opened the Latvian centre in Toronto (~1980). I have been living in Latvia now for more than 14 years. Not much I miss from Canada, but Teenage Head I do miss. Wanna do a tour in this end of the world? 3 days before leaving Canada, I was spending the afternoon at the Gasworks and had already convinced Frank about it. Ask him :D

Hi Gordie, That was funny! Frankie was in fine form, and if I recall, he stayed down there for a few minutes. Never seen that before, haven't seen it since. I was parked on a speaker, and had the best seat in the house. Your reports here are great. J

i'm 52 and i know that i would rather sit down than try to recreate the cover photo on frantic city or endless party...but after recently seeing the head...the dolls...the mc5...the seeds...rocket from the tombs...i know that rock'n'roll is still alive and well at 50+...i remember some old guy who wanted to die before he got old singing "long live rock"...and that guy is still alive and still rockin'...look out...here comes 60
