        Sinatra is so fricking overrated the concept he's adored almost makes me want to listen to Coldplay 24-7.

        And lest anyone confuse me for someone that only listens to music recorded 1960+ just don't.

          But when he was on, god d-mn.

          That song is heartbreak -- the pain and also the awful comedy. It's this:

          Ilsa: I didn't count the days.

          Rick: Well, I did. Every one of them. Mostly I remember the last one. The wild finish. A guy standing on a station platform in the rain with a comical look on his face because his insides have been kicked out.
          Every person who has ever had their heart broken can curl up inside that song and just hurt.

            He was far from the greatest, don't get me wrong. But his stuff just always seems to be okay for whatever mood you're in. It's always about a 6-8 on the 1-10 scale for me. Nothing ZOMG, but far from dreck. Just solid offerings through and through.
            Never really developed a taste for tequila. Kind of hard to understand how you make a drink out of something that sharp, inhospitable. Now, bourbon is easy to understand.

                I don't know. When you couple a voice that's about as pure as you can get with a talent for phrasing the lyrics around the music, pretty hard to top.
                That community is already in the process of dissolution where each man begins to eye his neighbor as a possible enemy, where non-conformity with the accepted creed, political as well as religious, is a mark of disaffection; where denunciation, without specification or backing, takes the place of evidence; where orthodoxy chokes freedom of dissent; where faith in the eventual supremacy of reason has become so timid that we dare not enter our convictions in the open lists, to win or lose.

                    So Barry Manilow came out of the closet at 73 years old.

                    1. Good for him. As long as he's happy.
                    2. I don't even know why this is news.

                          I heard rumors about Elton John, but don't want to go TMZ on the bit.

                            To be honest I never thought it was obvious that he was and therefore never gave it any thought.

                              I thought it was obvious, but never really cared. Sure, go be gay. So be it. Have fun. *shrug*
