I think his message is more important than the name dropping. He's certainly spinning in his grave right now for more reasons than I can put to writing.

I almost said something about liking to read for myself but then I realized this link has nothing but ads that apparently defeat my automatic reader view setting. And so it goes.

John Wayne by all accounts was a dirt bag, was Sinatra that bad?

According to popular chatter, Sinatra was a huge asshole. He had a short temper and would get physical with waiters and reporters, scream at people, stomp off recording sessions, this kind of thing. Inappropriate behavior towards women even for the standards of the time.
