I love Dino's songs, as well as Sinatra's, Bennett's, et al. I loathe most current music.

When it plays at my favorite pub, it sets my teeth on edge. What is the point of a song about "my hump, my hump, my lovely lady hump" anyway? Barf.

There is still some very fabulous and romantic being put out by today's artists.

Country music is loaded with elegant, moving lyrics.

There's Michael Buble, Harry Connick Jr., and a string of other jazz musicians carrying on the torch left behind by Ole Blue Eyes.

Then there are guys like Simon Webbe, who you have probably never heard of, who bring class and an uplifting touch of gospel music to R&B--something it has almost completely lost.

Thing is, gangster rap has made inroads into all facets of society. I inevitably roll my eyes when I see some moron driving a car that's going to set him back for years booming this stuff. Materialism has reached an all-time low in that trash.

I think the problem is, we used to have romantic songs, now we have songs, and I use the term lightly, about sex and violence. I detest it too.

At one of the local bars closing time is signaled by them playing New York New York by Frank Sinatra. It really highlights the difference between him and so much that followed.

I was excited for summer because at one of the local bars it meant that they would play country (not a big fan, but I'll take it over rap anyday) for whatever reason they have abandoned that practice this year.
