In 1968, his parents had it with the USA (JFK, RFK, MLK, Vietnam...) and moved to (Fascist) Spain where his dad (John) taught drama at the American Institute and Franky became acutely aware of life in a dictatorship, not only from Generalisimo Franco but the various Latin American refugees who fled from torture and turmoil.
