what a joke!
who are the taylor boys anyway? and why do they believe they are entitled to issue such thick doses of CONTROL upon the world??
im glad they canceled, im not interested in their mission anyway…
whatever, hope they choke on their boredom.

well, they are a hip hop group of high school kids [or younger]. I was just dealing with their manager.

“…He’s wonderful and hilarious and knows exactly what it’s all about and has earned my undying respect. What he’s doing is impossible, and he knows it. That’s good art….” L.A. Weekly

“Merging improv, erotica, entertainment, religion and ritual, Frank Moore – self-styled shaman, world-renowned disabled performance artist, and 2008 presidential candidate ….” – East Bay Express

Resisting “the easy and superficial descriptions…, Moore’s work challenges the consensus view more strongly in ways less acceptable than…angry tirades and bitter attacks on consumer culture.” Chicago New City

“If performance art has a radical edge, it has to be Frank Moore.” Cleveland Edition

“Transformative…” Moore “is thwarting nature in an astonishing manner, and is fusing art, ritual and religion in ways the Eurocentric world has only dim memories of. Espousing a kind of paganism without bite and aggression, Frank Moore is indeed worth watching.” High Performance Magazine

“Surely wonderful and mind-goosing experience.” L.A. Reader

Re: the taylor boys (Gi Dussault)

Well Frank, this band would be cancel on our radio show too, because it s always impromptu interviews and like you, we receive a lot of bands, some are known and other less and it s pretty rare this kind of situation. What are they scared about? Oh welll!!! 🙁

exactly, Gi! And I don’t think that is something a journalist [which is one of the things we are] should ever do. They are scared that the pre- packaged image which they have invented will fall apart under the light of reality… Which is selling the artist short. My job on the show is to create an environment where the artist can play/be at her core. This most of the time makes the artist look good… And often bands play better on the show.. And the audience feels the reality of the show. But these people don’t trust their bands!

hey, is there any way that LUVER could air your show on a regular basis?

Dinner Party at Lee’s!

Hi Frank,

Getting back to you with this report from my party. Also, want to let you know I’m sorry I will be missing the Reality Playings next weekend. I had made plans to leave town. Hope to make it to the next one. Do you have a date set for it yet?

The party here went very sweetly…. 15 people showed up…. with just 5 days notice! That was kinda perfect for the amount of cushy space I could set up. There were five men and 10 women, well one being an M to F trans woman. Two people I didn’t know were brought by friends I did know. There was a little bit of lively political debate with my young Irish friend engaging people in his characteristic abrasive style, that can be pretty caustic but at the same time mostly charming, I think. Mostly people gelled really well and cuddled for hours. And ate….

It was really a trip for me to have all these people from disparate strands of my life weaving together with touch and conversation.

LoveLEE

the taylor boys

(The Taylor Boys manager wrote:)

Thanks for the booking, we are looking forward to being on your show. We do need directions. And a copy of any questions you may ask.

* * * * *

hi! This is Frank. First I do the interview impromptu. So nobody knows what I will ask. So if the boys are uncomfortable with that, we should not do the show. If they are comfortable with that, how much set up time do they need?

In Freedom,
Frank Moore

* * * * *

Its not that The Taylor Boys are uncomfortable, their management is. Being it is impromptu, we would prefer a more structured interview. At this time we will have to decline the opportunity.

Thank you for your support.

then the show is cancelled! We will play the show about the killing of Oscar Grant which we just shot.

We are from the same generation, I think exactly like you 😀 😉

* * * * *

ah, yes, Gi! But then great minds think alike no matter how old!

If you ever come to San Francisco, I want you on my show!

Last night I did a rather intense show about the killing of Oscar Grant by the BART cops. We had two black Nation of Islam minsters and an ex- black panther as well as other community members.

FW: volunteering

hi frank

here’s the email i got from kpfa firing me from being a volunteer! the basic story is that i was a volunteer there one day last spring and took some food home from the station. both my roommate and i got food poisoning from the food i brought home and i emailed the owner of the restaurant where the food was from and asked him if he used any artifical ingredients , taste enhancers or any msg like substances in his food. i always know the reactions of my body from certain chemicals since i’ve been on a fasting/cleansing journey for several years now. my body never lies.. anyway, the restaurant owner had a real bullshit style of communicating and insisted that all his ingredients were of a ‘pure, top quality, natural and organic source’, though i knew this to be untrue. he was boldy lying and i called him on his insincerity , but told him i would NOT post any negative comments about his restaurant in a public forum such as yelp or other consumer blogs, because he was a small establishment, supporter of public radio, and the big chain restaurants get away with the same type of poisonous taste enhancers without bad publicity, though i was upset that his food made me sick, i still made that promise. anyway, shortly after, i got this email from kpfa…….

Hello Ava–

I find myself in the unfortunate position of having to tell you that you are no longer welcome to volunteer at KPFA. Your aggression towards an establishment that kindly donates food to
volunteers and staff during fund raising periods is/was uncalled for. Regardless of your personal feelings there is no place for this sort of behavior in an environment of mutual support.
