There is plenty of blame to go around for the U.S. housing bubble, but not much of it belongs to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.

Music can be so disturbing and frustrating. I mean the business side of it. The actual making music part is fun, but the business side of it is just so out of control, has nothing to do with anything. ↗

I really want younger audience members to see kids in their early 20's playing Frank's music and to be inspired to take things to a higher level themselves. ↗
