Why Black Francis should stay the way he is and not try and write any new songs for The Pixies: An argument in two parts.

Why Black Francis should stay the way he is and not try and write any new songs for The Pixies: An argument in two parts.

1. Anything Black Francis records as The Pixies now will suck by sheer virtue of it being impossible for any new material to stand up to the mythology of The Pixies catalog. (This is a universal rule of rock, though it does have a few exceptions -- most recently, see exhibit C1342B: Dinosaur Jr's Beyond)
2. He's already writing Pixies songs, he's just not recording them with the Pixies (most recently, see exhibit BF9770C (below)).
