Documentary appearance
Fricke appeared in the Wilco documentary, I Am Trying to Break Your Heart. In a comment about the way American culture expects things to be done immediately, he says "You have people outside, standing around, talking on cell phones, you know--the gist of the conversation is 'I'll be there in five minutes. Who gives a fuck?! Just be there in five minutes, don't talk about it."
Interviews with Cobain
Fricke's interviews with Kurt Cobain and Courtney Love for Rolling Stone, prior to Cobain's death, were widely cited. In one, Love spoke of an unrecorded song that Cobain wrote prior to his suicide titled "Me and My IV," which was recorded to "Do, Reh, Me."
Fricke is a graduate of Muhlenberg College in Allentown, Pennsylvania.
