In his first dance as commander in chief, President-elect Trump will take the dance floor with Melania to the tune of Frank Sinatra's "My Way," according to a source with knowledge of the official inaugural balls.
The Washington Examiner has learned that Trump plans to take the floor as the 45th president at the Liberty Ball just as Nashville-based jazz singer Erin Boehme delivers opening song "Mack the Knife," which will be live broadcast for tens of millions of Americans to watch on TV.

Something Stupid was the worst Sinatra song.
Obama had something like 10 Presidential balls.
I’ve read there will only be two Presidential Balls this year.
Two big brass ones that clang together!!
So according too you if a man sings or adopts a song written to simply say they lived their life on their own terms, that is somehow meaning they are the same as another person who may have been a thug and who also adopted the song?
I think you need to rethink what you said because it is patently absurd to assign the behavior of one person to another because they like the same piece of music.
That's 8 more than Moochelle.
The idea is that the singer or the writer is putting forth the idea that they lived life according to their own terms. That is not only an impossibility, but is patently evil.
We have parents, we have neighbors, we have role models, we have the people who provided the food we ate, etc. We live under laws that keep us from doing all the things we actually want to do and would do if there was no controlling authority in our hearts or on our bodies.
Sinatra truly did some evil stuff and paraded his vice as virtue, singing that song and making it his own in every way possible.
Nobody lives their life on their own terms, but Satan tempts us into believing we can.
You are over thinking. It is just a song with meaningful words for many who have accomplished something they value.

Nonsense! Who are you to say how someone intends too live their life or has lived their life is wrong? Yours is an opinion only and nothing definitive about someone’s life can be determined until AFTER that life ends and all considerations are given.

“We live under laws that keep us from doing all the things we actually want to do and would do if there was no controlling authority in our hearts or on our bodies.”

Just because a person wants to live his life exactly as he wants does not mean “His Way” is wrong. If the Holy Father adopted this song would you criticize him?
No one is perfect. As the phrase goes, “let he who is without sin cast the first stone”

Methinks thou doth protest too much.
I take that differently....one who kneels meaning to give up, be conquered....forced to act. It is not in religious terms!
LOL, you’re funny!!
I’m not the one protesting, you are. All I am doing is pointing out the fallacy behind your thinking.
Read this whole thread and believe me - as a former musician - you need to get out of the house more often.
Vitamin D does a body good.
He should use the Sid Vicious cover version.
Guaranteed to piss *everyone* off.

I could see you trading in your black leathers for a 1940s petticoat dress and some tap shoes!
Obama should sing the Sid Vicious version....

You’ve never looked lovelier...
