The Defiants

By Richard 'Rico' Frank

Memoirs of a man from New Mexico, Richard 'Rico' Frank, the guitarist and one of the songwriters from the band The Defiants. Take a journey back through time to reminisce with him on experiences in a band that was famous in their hometown in the 60s with a #1 hit regionally and hit #92 on the top 100 list nationally. In southwestern style Richard describes folklore, traditions, growing up in the 50s and 60s, and the culture shock of moving to California. Richard shares stories of Lla Lorona, UFOs, conspiracy theories, meeting celebrities, working at NBC, life as a radio DJ, and love and loss. Take this journey and decide for yourself; were they cursed, just unlucky, is rock and roll the devil's tool, and is fate cruel or a blessing in disguise?
