RE: today at BTV (Dr. Suzy)

Aww…Frank, it’s not your fault that the people love your more for your naked sex appeal than your artistic braininess 😉

Xoxox

Suzy

* * * * *

ah, Suzy, I have accepted my fate as a sex star a long time ago! Instead of embracing you and me because we bring viewers to the channel, they are embarrassed about having us… Even though viewers always are excited and joyful when they run into me on the street.

today at BTV

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!

hey, raindog!

here is a story for you… Yesterday we went to my hearing aid place… An old time place right out of the fifties with cowboy shit on the Walls… It is run by an old guy who’s a Master at what he does… A people person. He is the only place in the East bay who takes medi-cal, which is why we travel to Oakland.

Yesterday his assistant [apprentice? Son?] was there for the first time that we were there. When we came in, he pointed to me and said “Frank Moore, you are famous! I read about you in this poetry book!” he waved your book On/Off the Beaten Path (2008) [Btw, I don’t have a copy… In fact it was the first time that I have seen it!] with a section about your visit to the Shaman’s Den July 1999… About our jam, etc. [Btw, I got cerebral palsy, not M.S… I am not fading away!]
a small world! And the underground ain’t that underground!

matt, thanks for your kind and powerful words!

Hello Frank,

I only met you once. I appreciate having met you. My mind slowed down and my heart opened a bit. The mind slowed and the heart opened. I know that you are fine. When I think of your situation, I hope that you get better and that I can experience your presence again. I hope that you get better for selfish reasons—I want to see you again, But I know that you are fine and always will be and always have been. I love your poetry and you are evidence of love, peace, and understanding in the universe. You have shown me to myself and as these ghosts meet each other and try to shake each others hands and they notice that they are reaching for a hand that is an illusion, that is a dream and they begin to suspect that the hand with which they are reaching may also be a projection, a dream. And they say to themselves, if I am only a dream, perhaps I can simply let go of doing and just watch. God is with(in) you.

Here is me hoping to see you again,

Matt

any artist lives for such feedback that the work has such profound effects! Thanks!
And it looks like you will have another chance to see me! Don’t blow it!

from Russia with love

Dear mr.Moore,

this spring I used to live in Berkeley and one sunny morning my self-conscience had been thorn apart due to a small poster I seen. That was the Erotic Friction – and I was nearly beating myself that my ticket back to russia was on a date, couple of days earlier. I’m writing a column for a glance mag here and so eager to get a small interview.

hope I’m not fired after,

how about it?

all bests from Moscow,

Peter Silaev

hi, Peter! I am always saying that fliering is the first ring of a performance! You are the amazing proof of that! I would love to be interviewed by you. It may take some time for me to answer because I am recovering from a six week hospital stay. so I Am slow typing. But I am game! Also if you explore http://www.eroplay.com/Cave/shaman.html, you will find a lot about my work and me. I will be glad to answer your questions.

Hi Frank!

Your typing is an artistic statement – a noble and loving communication whose heart still beats even across the frozen wires of the ethernet!

ah, Tom! An empty in-box is a rare treat!

Re: i typed this (Annie Sprinkle)

Frank,

So glad to hear that you are home. And of course want you to stick around for years and years to come.
The world would not be the same without YOU. And there is only ONE Frank Moore.
I’m in mexico, gone from SF all summer.
Definitely want to visit with you in the fall.
Its been too long.
But then, I also feel always connected to you in the shamanic realms.
Sending white sand beach vibes.
Annie

Re: i typed this (K.A.)

Frank, I am so happy to read your voice again!

The updates have been good, if difficult reading because of the suffering they describe. At the same time, the love and strength that the updates describe have been very heartening and, as always, inspirational. The strong bonds that you guys have formed and spiritual boundlessness that you guys practice are so beautiful.

I wish you increasing strength and endurance, my friend.
