It is amazing how some people jump on certain people's bandwagons and some people absolutely have to be snobs.
I enjoy Frank for what he is. I enjoy Stephen Sondheim and Lloyd Webber and really anyone who writes for the theater. I enjoy them as they are continuing to keep our passions alive. I may not like some of their works but the fact that we theater go-ers are so critical (And we are! We are!) they still put their hearts and souls out on the line (hey isn't that a line from Dreamgirls.....)
Anyway- It just amazes me how we turn to petty sh.t instead of just talking about it with an opinion.
That said, My favorite songs that Frank has written where for his ex, Linda.

and Something to Believe in....
"Whenever I get gloomy with the state of the world, I think about the arrivals gate at Heathrow Airport. General opinion's starting to make out that we live in a world of hatred and greed, but I don't see that. It seems to me that love is everywhere. Often it's not particularly dignified or newsworthy, but it's always there - fathers and sons, mothers and daughters, husbands and wives, boyfriends, girlfriends, old friends. When the planes hit the Twin Towers, as far as I know none of the phone calls from the people on board were messages of hate or revenge - they were all messages of love. If you look for it, I've got a sneaky feeling you'll find that love actually is all around."
