There was a time I didn't like

Frank Sinatra, or at least I wouldn't admit I did, cuz I liked the Beatles and Stones, and Frank was Old School, and not part of my world. But, I always knew he had a great voice, and now I realize it more than ever, as today's stars sing his songs on what would have been his 100th birthday. No one has a voice like Frank. I think he transcends time and generations, as he sings the classics, that I imagine mean nothing to the kids of today. Too bad, but that's how it is and has always been. My generation kind of straddled musical history, as Rock n Roll took over from the Big Band era, and now rock is taking a back seat to rap and newer genres.
Bottom line, Sinatra had a voice and life that was/is totally unique. Not saying it's better than (insert name here) but it is amazing. If you don't believe me, just check out the TV special on ABC tonight, that chronicles one of the truly fantastic personalities of our era. If that makes me an old fogy, so be it... PS Lady Gaga was fantastic, finishing with New York...

Because I'm sorta stuck in an Anti-Bush rant.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D99NHb6B03s Can you imagine all those rapper stars with these things? Of course, they'd have to have theirs with 'da bling! Can't be standard, gawd no! And of course, Britney's gotta have one in her car. Paris with her pooch totin' one on the red carpet at some fete. The boys in 'da hood will have a field day on their daily drive bys. P Diddy will wear his on a chain around his neck. You suppose there will be special pockets made in jeans for these things? Trailer trash folks will have 'em camouflaged. Jeff Foxworthy will have to come up with some fresh Redneck stuff. Think George W. will get one, each for the twins? Don't forget Dickie boy for those spur of the moment huntin' trips. Of course Ma Babs will have hers with pearls. Think it will affect the Royals? I can imagine Charles and Camilia on their fox hunt...........ah yes, and Prince Philip, too, must include the...

You think the Repub brand is tarnished now?

Just wait 'til Bonehead leads us all over the cliff, to save his 2% buddies having to pay a little higher tax. The Pubs keep thinking the American public is stupid, and they can get away with their phony political crap. They keep forgetting we're not all a bunch of FOXNews sheep, who'll swallow whatever swill is shoveled to them. A once proud party, like a beast in it's death throes, striking out to harm whatever's close, threatening to shut the gov't down, (again), over the debt limit, which is just paying the bills they already ran up. Political hacks, pretending to be patriots. So sad...

Great 'bargains' at the local Sprouts store

where we picked up asparagus and baby back ribs. Carol and I went for the same stuff (serarately, today), cuz it is so good, AND a great price. Had it for dinner tonight. WOW. One of my fav dinners, as the ribs start out in the crock pot, then finish on the grill, with fresh asparagus. (and bread pudding for dessert) I LOVE this time of year...
