According to Frank Black's official website,

"Charles Michael Kittridge Thompson IV. Charles was “born alive” April 6, 1965 (despite his desire to have been conceived a decade earlier) in Boston (though some sources suggest Long Beach). Several years later, his family moved to Boston and the world of music would never be the same." [1]

Does anyone know which city is the correct birthplace for Frank Black? BlankVerse ∅ 06:08, 23 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Also, the All Music Guide website says Frank Black was "born in California" [2]. BlankVerse ∅ 06:19, 23 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Hi, I run the website in question and that unfortunate quote was the result of a prior edit not being completed properly. He was, in fact, born in Boston, and that correction will appear on the site as soon as we get its backend functioning again. -Dean Katsiris

"Black currently lives in Eugene, Oregon, and is married to Violet Clark, his second wife, with whom he has four children.[1]"
I thought he had two children with her, the two other being the children of Violet Clark and her ex-husband, so his step-children ?
Also, did he have children with his ex-wife ? I'm just curious.
