SKF NOTE – Here’s Part 4 of 4 interview segments. “The interview was therefore intended to be a portrait of an up-and-coming new artist. However, before we had the chance to publish that interview, ‘Loverboy’s’ success had spread across the country.

The actual interview took place September 1983 at the height of ‘Loverboy’s’ hit song, “Working for the Weekend.” It appeared as the cover story for the March 1984 Modern Drummer magazine.

In Part 4 of this interview, Frenette discusses the following topics:

• Importance of learning how the music business works

• Seeing the band name painted on water towers
• Loverboy cardboard mascot named Bob
• Are you a book reader?
