I met Fran at the Bottom Line in NYC in the early 90's. She was my idol and I made an ass of myself. But I did get to shake her hand. Surprisingly, her hand was soft, And warm and gentle. And she didn't make me feel stupid.
I believe that. She seems like a gentle soul to me. Her insights are fresh and yet nothing extraordinary. By that I mean, I think she's right about a lot of things. She is not a radical.
I think watching her you’d get the impression she were mean and edgy or really rough and intimidating. But I agree I think she’s actually nice, values good manners and is a soft person. Her younger interviews she’s very quiet. She seems actually really kind and gentle.
Fran is the best, love her wit & wisdom, esp. like her sense of humor. She’s so genuine.
She often comes up with a surprise idea or suggestion: lets try men not voting. I love it!
Of course, That’s why Hillary lost.. we’d be fucked!

I adore Fran, she is absolutely the best, just marvelous. Take a compliment Fran.
I adore her. Badass. I agree with most of what she said. Not that she would care.😊

I absolutely adore her. Even though she would hate me for saying that lol
Also "dressing well is a form of Manners"!
Fran 2024.
fact check, so Fran didn't finish her novel by the end of the century.
She's so fucking right.
Calvin Trillin remarked, before Lebowitz, that satirists risked being upstaged by actual events.
Amazing. Was this conversation not had last week?
Oooh Fran, computers got your number!
I like Fran. She wouldn’t like me. I can just tell. I might be wrong. I could change my mind. We are the same age.
1:49 to 2:30 Fran predicts and perfectly describes modern social media.
That beer looks really good.
There is irony in saying the ignorant have opinions while also being sceptical/unimpressed of/by something she's admits to know very little about.
