What a privilege to have lived in Sinatras’s time, and to have been fortunate enough to see him in person on four occasions.
There will never ever be another you, Frank.

Taking the "El" from the suburbs to the city, I saw and heard "Frankie" perform at the Chicago Theater when I was a kid. It was a Saturday matinee in his early career.....I saw the young gals packing the front-center seats screaming and "swooning", his incredible skinny-ness, his ill-fitting suit, his "coolness" and stage confidence....and his magical voice which I appreciate 101% more today than I did then.

He represents an era of great popular music enjoyed by all ages. I also consider myself fortunate, Greyfox, to have been able to see Sinatra in person at a time when his voice was at its best.

Todays' pop music makes me want to harf (yes, harf....as in Marie Harf, Obama's Valley Girl PR mouthpiece). It's mostly just noise, not music...and sadly, this orchestrated noise overlaid with shrieking and shouting is what today's culture embraces as "music".

When I shop at the Publix supermarkets here in Florida, the loud cacaphony of pop music continuously foisted on shoppers' ears over the PA system is enough to make you work the aisles faster....and to GET OUT out of the store just as fast as you can.
