| | Frank Marino 2 |
 | | Larry: Frank is a one of a kind, like Bach, Elvis, the Beatles, just because he didn't get the recognition that they got doesn't make it anymore so, he has impressed me for 30 years and his music never dies, songs I listened to 30 years ago still sound great today. | | | Wild Willy: Well, not to sound biased, but Frank Marino is in a league of his own because of his ability to play all different kinds of music, not just blazing guitar solos. | | | When listening to Franks music I skip no filler tracks or tracks that are boring to get to the next song because theyre just aren't any of those anywhere in his body of work. |

| | Amazon.com: Music: Franks Wild Years |
| | Frank's Wild Years was my first disc of his, and boy it had taken a while to reach the point where I got the courage to get it. | | | I feel "Tom's Wild Years", with its more "mainstream" (relatively speaking) approach, is a good entry point for newcomers. | | | True, there's a pervading sense of gloom overiding this album but every song is a gem if you take the time to dust off what's offered. |

| | Tom Waits |
| | Swordfishtrombones, Rain Dogs and Frank's Wild Years were a trilogy of loose concept albums, following sailor Frank O'Brien, as he leaves the familiar comfort of home, sees the world, and returns. | | | John's early output, there was little precedent in popular music for Swordfishtrombones or its followups, Rain Dogs and Frank's Wild Years. | | | Though not entirely unprecedented, the album's gritty rhythm and blues sound was different for Waits, and forshadowed the major changes in his music that would follow several years later. |

| | Wild Man Fischer - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Discovered by Frank Zappa, with whom he cut his first record album, Fischer became an underground club and concert favorite, earning him the title of "godfather of outsider music." Zappa was responsible for Fischer's initial foray into the business of music—An Evening with Wild Man Fischer— contains 36 tracks of 'something not exactly musical'. | | | The final (to date) Wild Man release was Rhino's The Fischer King in 1999, which was a two-CD package comprising 100 tracks and a 20-page booklet. | | | Larry "Wild Man" Fischer (born Lawrence Wayne Fischer, 6 November 1945 in Los Angeles, California, USA) has the curious claim to fame of being responsible for Rhino Records' first release—Go to Rhino Records (1975). |

| | The Austin Chronicle: Film Listings |
| | Rubin and producer Jeremy Lubin taped Wild Man during the last three years, building his history through found footage while interviewing those Fischer played with, attacked, and inspired. | | | Josh Rubin's fascinating documentary dissects the life of Larry "Wild Man" Fischer, juggling the question: lunatic or musical genius? | | | Singing his own strange songs for a dime (think Bobcat Goldthwait doing nursery rhymes) along Sunset Boulevard, he caught the ear of Frank Zappa, who signed him to his record label and officially stamped Fischer's name into musical history. |

| | Artt Frank: Bop Drummer, Composer, Lyricist |
| | Bop drummer/composer/lyricist Artt Frank is best known for his long-term association with trumpeter immortal Chet Baker, with whom he worked for well over twenty years. | | | Artt Frank truly adds further intensity to the heartchords that begin to resonate in your soul, whether he swings lightly with great skill or creates tone poems during the interplay of a sensitive ballad. | | | Artt Frank notes, "Ken's playing is so reminiscent of Chet Baker, even though Chet played trumpet and flugelhorn, the similarity in their playing is astounding when you consider that Chet always played with simplicity, yet with so much great lyricism -- and he blew the greatest long tones of anyone in jazz history. |

| | Hopkins claimed to be a headline act for the Wild West's first and second European tours, but when we examined historical records such as ships' manifests, program books, and the extensive newspaper clipping scrapbooks, we discovered no evidence that anyone named Frank T. Hopkins had anything to do with Buffalo Bill or his exhibition. | | | Touchstone Pictures' Hidalgo stars Viggo Mortensen as Buffalo Bill's Wild West cast member and cowboy Frank T. Hopkins. | | | Over the years, at least thirty-nine movies have featured Cody as a character or as the main subject, and one more is about to hit the big screen as this issue goes to press. |

| | A thousand years later, as humanity has populated nearly every corner of the solar system, Frank's body is discovered, frozen in the cold vacuum of space - but he is revived using the advanced technology of the third millennium. | | | Critics have long complained at Clarke's shallow character development, but his strength has always been as an "ideas man." He throws together all sorts of wild speculations about what the world will be like a thousand years from now. | | | Ultimately Frank travels back to Jupiter, where he encounters the "spirit" of Dave Bowman, who warns him that the Monolith is about to act again - this time against mankind's best interests. |
