Great googly moogly

My introduction to Frank was 1968 when I got a playtape "Hipster" machine for Christmas. The player came with two tapes. For some insane reason the two tapes that they included were the Cowsills and Frank's "We're only in it for the money" . After that I found the first album "Freak Out" and I went on to regularly listen to Frank for the next 46 years collecting 51 albums.

Frank was a complicated, and enigmatic character. I would love to see how his political views would have evolved by now.
