Beats me, but he sounded fine on the interview he did on FMU last week.
He breaks the news that FZ did smoke a few joints occasionally, in between orgies.

But it *did* give Frank a sore throat.

Another thing, whatever happened to the suicide/homicide case of their
lead guitarist *falling* from his hotel balcony & F & E's manager
getting held up & threatened?????

Yeah - what the heck ever happened with that? Seemed like a pretty big deal then *poof* - never mentioned again. Guess it remained a mystery?

And he never mentioned me helping stack those ARB PA cabs
at Clark U, while the band was held up at Logan airport, leading 2
the whole "..com-part-ment.." routine. Nor the time F&E backed up
Alice Cooper, and we all part-id in Boston. F&E were (are) icons in
this world, and at those times, the fans could reach to them..

Pros, I mean it, folks that never left their stanch, yet were real..

..ask Dr. Flo...

There is a reason FZ booked the F&E band..he knew reality..

And yes, FZ smoked, and loved JW black. Need I remind you all
of the time in Prov RI when the band (again) got hung up?

Just ordered the book, got to read it..but folks..it's kayfabe..

..he was there... Great guy. Him and 'Flo'...

Back when I was a kid, life was going swell.
Till something happened, blew every thing to hell.
That night my daddy stumbled in, all pale and weak,
Said "A woman up the block just gave birth to a geek."

Mom said, "Sell it to the circus, what the heck."
Dad said, "Nope, this one's a pencil neck.
And if there's one thing lower than a side show freak,
It's a grit eatin', scum suckin', pencil neck geek."

You see if you take a pencil that won't hold lead,
Looks like a pipe cleaner attached to a head,
Add a buggy whip body with a brain that leaks,
You got yourself a grit eatin', pencil neck geek.

Pencil neck geek, grit eatin' freak,
scum suckin', pea head with a lousy physique.
He's a one man, no gut, loosing streak.
Nothin' but a pencil neck geek.

Soon the geeks were poppin' up all over town.
You couldn't hardly sneeze without knockin' one down.
After a nice juicy steak, if you need a toothpick,
Just reach for a geek, they'll do the trick.

One day we cut one up for fish bait.
Learned our lesson just a little bit late.
Soon as the geek hit the drink, the water turned red.
Next day, sure enough, all the fish were dead.

Pencil neck geek, grit eatin' freak,
scum suckin', pea head with a lousy physique.
He's a one man, no gut, loosing streak.
Nothin' but a pencil neck geek.

Most any night you know where I can be found.
Yeah, stomping some geek's head into the ground.
So keep the faith 'cause in Blassie you can trust,
I won't give up 'til the last geek bites the dust.

Pencil neck geek, grit eatin' freak,
scum suckin', pea head with a lousy physique.
He's a one man, no gut, loosing streak.
Nothin' but a pencil neck geek.

They say, "these geeks come a dime a dozen."
I'm lookin' for the guy who's supplin' the dimes.
Its gonna be real hard times for all of these
grit eatin',
scum suckin',
boot lickin',
drop kickin',
gut grindin',
nail bitin',
glue sniffin',
scab pickin',
butt scratchin',
egg hatchin',
sleezy,
smelly,
pepper bellied,
dirty, lousy, rotten, stinkin', freaks.
Nothing but a pencil neck geek.

Pencil neck geek.
Pencil neck geek.
Pencil neck geek.

FZ had a special place in his heart for the "Vaudeville Band". He admired their professionalism.

And *another* thing....in Penn Gillette's Intro he keeps stating
hearing Chuck Berry's "Ding - a -Ling" in 1971. IIRC that particular
tune was a hit in the Summer of 1972. Of course, even though I did/
don't smoke as much weed as Howard my memory could be a *little bit*
fogged.

Or even a little later.

My Ding-a-Ling was recorded on February 3, 1972. It reached #1 on the
Billboard Hot 100 on October 21, 1972.

So if that fact is *wrong* how can anyone believe anything that is
written in the book. Maybe Howard made it all up?

But I thought you said the bit about My Ding-a-Ling was from Penn
Jillette's introduction. So maybe Penn just made the introduction up,
but Howard's part of the book is true.
