Frank is a really healthy role model of masculinity. I can’t remember the last time I heard a man talk about his emotions and introspections with such transparency and grace.

I soo get it, Rebekah! You are right.💜🎶

[@Dabomb1237]

He name dropped The Chariot! What a crazy combination of musical tastes that fuel his music.

[@hannahlanai]

He’s wonderful. Congrats on becoming a fan :)

[@aryastark772]

Because he’s never been mainstream, always been on the edge and a cult musician with very loyal fans

[@noelreason9136]

Wow, didn’t see this coming. Nice one frank 😮

[@oliverjeffs4936]

This was an amazing interview but I have to say my favourite part wasn't Frank himself but at 27:10 when he had to look down and check if he had a red shirt on.

[@ChrisMcSweeney]

His Celebrity Mastermind anecdote is kind of adorable.

[@Scrubbini]

I love frank!!

[@MrJal67]

Compare/contrast this Q&A with the previous FT Cambridge Union Q&A...interesting to see FTs growth...

[@Nico5890]

I’m going to speculate wildly that Weak Handshake is about Johnny Rotten. Let the unsubstantiated internet rumor fly

[@michaelmaia]

You have the two best comments on this page!🏆

[@billybobobenner]

At the end of the interview Frank got up sharpish and he was disappeared.

Dan Marowak? Did his mum die and he wore her skull until he evolved?
