"first of all, you better examine your semantics" is the way to respond.

What an incredible impressive human. Blazing intellect. Crystal clear clarity of thought like ice water, direct, confident, thoughtful, moral, lethal but courteous. I didn't hear a single hesitation, repetition, equivocation or even a single 'um' or 'you know'. Zero edits. Because he knew exactly who he was and what he was about. The personification of self actualization.

This is a man I could listen to endlessly. Straight, meticulously thought out, and to the point. What a brilliant man.

His mind was so fast and his thinking so clear. I hope his music is never forgotten.

The rare clip where Frank wasn't smoking a carton of cigarettes during the interview.

What an enigmatic character he was. Still one of my favourite musicians.
