On November 19, 2014 Google commemorated the 57th birthday of Ofra Haza with a Google Doodle. Who?
Also in 2014, Google Doodle honored the 151st birthday of Annie Jump Cannon. Who?
A few days after that, Wassily Kandinsky was similarly recognized with a Google Doodle on his 148th birthday. Who?
Well today is the 100th birthday of Frank Sinatra so obviously Google Doodle must honor Ol' Blue Eyes. If you thought that you would be wrong. Relative nonentities receive honors from Google but when it comes to a major cultural icon on his 100th birthday, they amazingly chose to ignore him. Truly pathetic. To get an idea of how Frank Sinatra changed the world, let us read this column by David Lehman, author of Sinatra's Century: One Hundred Notes on the Man and His World:

Too American.
Google is so Progressive that getting a Google doodle should be an insult for a real American. Its like getting a “shout-out” from the Homie-in-Chief at his State of the Hood speech.
You had never heard of Kandinsky before?
That’s Life.
Going to a Sinatra 100th birthday show tonight at the Sands in Bethlehem, PA. Happy birthday Frank.
My guess is that ol’ blue eyes doesn’t have any songs on Larry and Sergy’s (google owners) Ipods.
The leftist eggheads at Apple, Google, et al think they’re so cool.
But in reality, they’re lowlife
Tried to care.
Couldn't.
I’m gonna live till I die.
You treat a lady like a dame, and a dame like a lady.
Watched that last night.
Didn’t help that he was friends with Reagan.
Kandinsky was hardly a non-entity and his work lends itself to a doodle. Sinatra, however, was a patriotic American who joined the Republican Party. So no way was he going to make it into a doodle. Happily, the world aside from Google, seems to be celebrating his life and career.
LOL! So true.
My father used to get madder than hell every time Sinatra was in a war movie, saying how the guy avoided the draft, came up with a “lame” ear problem, and then safely fought WWII on a sound stage. Never had any use for him. Wonder why they don’t mention that at all about Sinatra.
Stupid thing to get mad about. Could be that Sinatra had a low draft number. A lot of men didn’t serve because we still had a country to run.
Michael Kelly’s obit nails Francis Albert to the wall. Outside of his voice, there was very little admirable about him.
