Back around 1969 Buddy was doing a gig at a place called Lenny's on the Turnpike north of Boston. At the end of the evening Buddy asked if anyone could give one of the musicians a ride home. I had a date so couldn't offer. I always wondered if I could have gotten to know Buddy by helping him out.

Sinatra, Dorsey's singer, remininsced about Buddy Rich and music in general to Larry Mullen, Bono, and the boys when U2 first came to America-- for over an hour in Frank's dressing room. People kept knocking on Sinatra's door. "Hey, Joan Collins is out here. She wants to see you." "Tell her I'm busy," Frank said. This went on with various stars and starlets, until someone asked, what's goin' on in there?
"Oh,Frank's in there with U2."
So Frank's beautiful friendship with Bono was born from the genius of Buddy Rich, and the rock star and crooner's mutual passion for rhythm.
