Corey was at Berkeley Community Media today, “BTV”, turning in the next batch of Dr. Susan Block shows, and he was finally able to ask the woman who now works at the front desk there what she meant when she said (months ago when Frank was in the hospital): “the infamous Frank Moore”.
“Well,” she said, “Whenever I tell people where I work they say, ‘You mean the place where that naked guy in the wheelchair has sex?!'” She was wondering when/if Frank tapes his shows at the BTV studios, because she has never run into him or his group there? Corey told her that we tape the show at the house … Well, that would explain why she never sees us! She also wanted to know what Frank’s show was like, because she has never actually seen it … Corey told her about the performances, The Shaman’s Den shows, etc. …
The BTV tech guy Jeffrey chimed in too. He said that they just got these new BTV hoodies, and now whenever they’re wearing them around town, the first thing people ask is: “Oh, is that the place that has the naked guy in the wheelchair?!” He tells them, “Yes, it is … … we do have other shows too …” “Yeah,” the front desk woman added, “We have cooking shows, gardening, gospel … ” But no one asks about those!
“No,” Jeffrey said, “Its always ‘the naked guy in the wheelchair’!”

I AM B-TV! but I know how they feel. The erotic stuff is only a fraction of what is on my show. I interview people from all cultural /political /whatever from the community and beyond. I have live bands of all kinds… And short films of other artists… Etc.! But all the people talk about is THAT NAKED GUY IN THE WHEELCHAIR HAVING SEX WITH MYRIADS OF BEAUTIFUL WOMEN! well, I know what people want!
In Freedom,
Frank Moore
