About FranksWildYears - Male, 46 and Married (Winnipeg, Manitoba)

Frank settled down in the Valley and hung his wild years on a nail that he drove through his wife's forehead. He sold used office furniture out there on San Fernando Road and assumed a $30,000 loan at 15 1/4 % and put down payment on a little two bedroom place. His wife was a spent piece of used jet trash made good Bloody Marys kept her mouth shut most of the time, had a little Chihuahua named Carlos that had some kind of skin disease and was totally blind. They had a thoroughly modern kitchen self-cleaning oven, the whole bit. Frank drove a little sedan, they were so happy. One night Frank was on his way home from work, stopped at the liquor store, picked up a couple Mickey's Big Mouths, drank 'em in the car on his way to the Shell station. He got a gallon of gas in a can, drove home, doused everything in the house, torched it, parked across the street, laughing, watching it burn, all Halloween orange and chimney red. Then Frank put on a top forty station got on the Hollywood Freeway headed north. He never could stand that dog. - Tom Waits

Frank has a keen sense of humor that he uses often. He cracks me up with his funny witticisms. But he also is a gifted and intelligent reviewer who gets to the heart of the matter in a concise way. Very knowledgeable about music, especially rock, up there with Oscar. One of RIA's better and most interesting reviewers.

hell yeah there is, sent us out right before the mini stock, street stock, followed open wheel , then the real big dogs the late models. Eh so we where the babies still awfully fun from when I started at 15, cant say that it helped much on my actual driving test though, learning to race a car 115-120 in a dirt circle. They didn't take kindly to my speeding habbits on the test lol

I was browsing my trusted network and noticed a FranksWildYears-shaped hole which I somehow managed to miss for this long.
Either way, the mistake has been rectified.
You, sir, are a credit to this fine website.

Although in the beginning, we rarely even agreed on what day it was, we have found our middle ground. Even in times of disagreememt, FWY was never rude or impolite..condencending maybe..haha! There is a vast array of knowledge coming from FWY ~ so be ready to explain yourself when you are called out. Although we will never see eye to eye on a lot of things, he is still very trustworthy, humorous and generally good natured. Don't be afraid of The Frank!! :) There is a rabbit underneath that bear! HAHA

I enjoy reading Franks' reviews. He expresses his views in a clear concise way, most of the time, except when he is writing something with a humorous edge, then he is even more enjoyable to read.

He's a madman, but that fact can only improve my opinion of him...

Franks Wild Years is a superb reviewer with one of the broader ranges on here, one moment Franks might be discussing music or film, and then you might read an excellent review on travel, politics, or any one of a multitude of topics. Engaging, sometimes humorous, and always worth reading, Franks is one of those underrated reviewers who flies under the radar a little bit, so to speak.
