[Ramon Porta]

In the tyme he signed by the EMI label, i was working in a rock mag call Popular1 in Barcelona and have the lucky to interwiew Franco, ama n very "intelectual" not only in music,he tellme his controversy with the religion he almost was ordered jesuist. Afther years saw him in one of the lastest concerts in Barcelona,he can't move but only singin from his chear was hipnotic, friend of us and like a teacher in music, saw us how his soul was made it of passion for this art,for me was a lost of a friend,rest in peace Franco.
