OK, as I reread the quote and its accompanying article about Black's new band Grand Duchy, which includes his wife, perhaps he's not talking about kids music but just about "going soft."And for [Frank] Black, has fatherhood changed his music?
"No, not at all," he said. "It's not like, now I'm gonna sing about my kids, and I'd be doing my kids a disservice if I get all fluffy and wimpy and dorky ... someday, I'll be dead and gone, but they'll still have my copyrights."
But, still, if I were the kind of person to start one of those "1,000,000 Strong" Facebook pages (hey, did Bad Brains play Obama's Inauguration?), I would totally start a "1,000,000 Strong for the Pixies and Frank Black To Do a Family Music Album" page. It might be a disaster, but even if it were, it'd be a glorious disaster.
