Re: Being Frank
I don't know what to make of the film Jon Ronson made. It was supposed to be about Frank Sidebottom, but it wasn't. I'm hoping this will be more about him.

Steve Sullivan looks like the missing link between the Gallagher brothers.

I like Ronson’s writing but I don’t think it transfers into partly fictionalised form that well.
Saying that, The Men Who Stare At Goats was worse than the Frank film.
I’m looking forward to this doco, Frank / Sievey is an interesting and genuinely funny character.
I went to see his solo show at Brighton’s Zap club with my then girlfriend and she was baffled and bemused by the whole thing.
I've been talking about writing a book - 25 years of TEFL - for a few years now. I've got it in me.

Yeah, that was confusing. Eventually I figured out what he was up to and was able to get into it - sort of - but I think I'll like this one better (if I ever get to see it).
