Hey Irwin, Ken played yr Xmas classic today. You'd better not pout, you'd better not raise taxes, you'd better not be less militaristic, I'm telling you why: Santa Cruz is coming to town! He sees you when you're sleeping! (Via the NSA.) So go to sleep.

Larry Harmon owned the rights to Bozo, and he was by many accounts a bastard, suing anyone and everyone who used HIS Bozo. In 2008 my friend Don Brockway sent out an email with the subject line, "Good news about Bozo." The mail contained Larry Harmon's obit.

The latest spending bill from the capitol seems to give a lot of tax breaks to various interests, but at least it provides funds for the 9/11 responders to cover their health expenses.

Saw Sinatra live in the '80s on a good night. Most impressive, though, was the opening act, a comedian who appeared frequently on, for example, Dean Martin roasts and the like. He was pretty fucking filthy. Would have embarrassed Sam Kinison.

In George Will's column a great line from Shecky Greene “Sinatra saved my life in 1967. Five guys were beating me up, and I heard Frank say, ‘That’s enough.’

Here's the entry for the show:

JULY 30-AUGUST 7, 1982: FS officially opened the Universal Amphitheater with two opening acts: comedian Charlie Callas and me.

I forgot that Jr. sang, too.

Clay:

Loved this little passage from Bob Dylan's 'Chronicles" concerning Frank, Jr. where Dylan recalls ------ "going with his wife to see Frank Sinatra, Jr. play at New York’s Rainbow Room in the late 1960s. Bob writes about how much he enjoyed the show. Dylan “didn’t care if he was as good as his old man or not,” and writes how he liked his “big blasting band.” Frank Jr. came to Dylan’s table to chat after the set, but was wary (probably wondering if he was being put on) until he could see that Dylan “genuinely liked show tunes.” He obviously could only have picked that up from the way that Dylan spoke appreciatively about some of the songs that Frank Jr. had sung."

Ken From Hyde Park:

The guy who helped drop off my new stove this morning was in the house when Ken was playing Sinatra. He said something like "That's familiar. Is that Bing Crosby or someone?" I let him know it was Frank and that he was born 100 years ago.
  4:24pm

So we're at the point where we have to IDENTIFY or EXPLAIN Sinatra? Makes me feel soooo old.

Oh, thank the Lord, you didn't let it play through to his version of "Bad Bad Leroy Brown". That was the worst Sinatra record I've ever heard -- and that's coming from one of the six people in the world who don't like "New York New York".
