frank: there’s a difference between being a music fan or popular music fan and a fan of a band. and when you’re a fan of a band, you don’t have to like everything but you follow them because they know better than you do, what their band’s supposed to be doing.
and when you do follow them, and you do give it as many listens as it needs to have for you to like it or to appreciate it, then, that band has opened your mind a little bit. and you’re a little bit better person because of that band. and that’s why you’re a fan of that band.
interviewer: do you think your fans get that from your shows and buying your records?
frank: I hope so, otherwise, they’re wasting their time
interviewer (not getting it): well they could come just to have a good time
frank: no-no-no-no-no I know but… I mean, to really to say “i’m a huge fan of this band” yknow? like you’re a fan of an artist. I think a lot of our fans are invested. and i’m glad because I want us to have that relationship for the long haul. I don’t want it to be fleeting. because if it’s fleeting then… yknow.. thats-
that’s why i’m married. I don’t just fuck. just to put it out there.yknow whatever- some people love doing that i’m not- i’m a commitment guy.
