Is anyone else out there in Man-Man-Land a fan of the radio work of Joe Frank?<P>I got turned on to Mr. Frank through the auspices of Dr. Crispy Knight, an infrequent poster to these boards, about six months ago, and he is now my audio messiah.

I wish they'd bring back radio serials. Or pulp comics. Those were good. Especially the Shadow.

Or insane, lunatic rantings. Gone are the days when you could turn on the radio at 3 am and hear William S. Burroughs. "Dead City Radio" kicks ass, even if you don't really like "Naked Lunch".<P>Damn it, I have to start a pirate radio station some day.<p>[This message has been edited by theangryQ (edited 11-04-2001).]
