Tony is getting quite old quite fast. The mind goes.
What a shame.
Now I gotta get out my Sinatra..the capital years...CD. grew up listening to Frank Sinatra my all time favorite. next is Dean Martin
BTW Good Lord was that a HORRIBLE duet of Body and Soul!
GWB to Bennett: I like your music. Btw, I think I made a mistake in Iraq.
That is so typical of GWB./sarc
The mistake W was referring to was getting out of the car at the event that night.
He’s 85 years old. My paternal grandpa, a great man who died at 92, said some crazy stuff at age 82, let alone 85.
If anything, Howard Stern yet again proved himself to be a ghoul by exploiting an old man for his own purposes.
“Tony is getting quite old quite fast.”
I was very surprised when I looked it up and saw he is 85!
Red Eye - great show! I get it via torrent download.
GWB: Yup. Big mistake hiring outside contractors to do for 90,000 a head a worse job than good GIs can do for a fraction of that and our thanks. Shouldn’t have let those sailors get photographed holding up that sign saying “mission accomplished,” either, but they refused to furl it up when I asked nicely, and their mission was accomplished. From then on, it wasn’t up to carriers anymore.
Tony Bennett: He’s confessed! I am his father confessor. I knew the whole Iraq war was a mistake. Now I have proof! Where are my dentures? Oh. In my mouth. Where’d I leave my heart again?
Bush probably meant that he made a mistake when he decided to attend the event.
He should stick to singing at Bar Mitzvahs and Mafia weddings.
We're also to believe that Bennett simply didn't think it noteworthy to make it public until six years later, since this event took place in September of 2005.
Anyone believes that and I've got a bridge on Mars for sale....
Agree with your entire post. I never ranked Bennett with the others [I think I have one song of his on my itunes, and I have 40,000 songs] and Sinatra and Martin are just incredible, if anything they`re underrated. I rarely read bios of entertainers but Nick Tosches wrote a book about Martin that made me realize how good a singer he was.
Are we surprised that Mr. “I won’t sing the national anthem because it’s too warlike” Bennett would take the America-hater position on Islamic terrorism? He’s been a deranged lefty for quite some time.
BTW Good Lord was that a HORRIBLE duet of Body and
soul.Agree...Best rendition ever... was by the late Tony Martin...The new album wanders too much from the original compositions and debases the lyrics as in the case of Body and Soul.
Best rendition ever... was by the late Tony Martin...Not Dean,... Tony Martin
Oh well, there goes my Bennett CD collection...just in time for garbage pick up day.
Both
Bush did tell him "I think I made a mistake." However, Bush was referring to the fact that he was actually talking to Tony Bennett.
