BTW I do like Bing Crosby and Bob Hope

Sinatra was never found to be associated with organized crime and anyone who is familiar with Dean Martin know that his drunk act was part of his gimmick, kinda like saying Red Skelton was really a Hobo!

To even talk about or compare lady GAGA in the same sentence as Sinatra and Martin is a travesty in my opinion. Frank and Deano are irreplaceable icons in the entertainment, and music industry. They were and still are larger than life! Lady GaGa will be long forgotten when they are still playing New York New York, Summerwind, Everybody loves Somebody, Mambo italiano, etc, etc.

Long live the Chairman and Deano!!

First let me say I agree with you on all of your points. Frank and Dean are irreplaceable icons. I even alluded to Dean's drunkenness being an act. I also agree about Gaga's longevity and let me add that she is one of the biggest copycats ever. Can anyone say Madonna???
RailroadJoe actually started the comparison, the only point I was trying to make was that I can't see anyone in the entertainment industry that doesn't have skeletons in their closet.
While he was never proven to have ties there were enough situations that his name was involved in to write a few books. Just Google Frank Sinatra Organized Crime..and yes I know everything you read on the internet is not true

Although this is about Lady Gaga, I did bring Frank and Dean into the conversation. Just remember, even our great JFK was linked to the mob. Who really cares on the one issue when we try to measure the total of the person.

Lets get back to Gaga and her money.

I saw her on 60 Minutes last night and have to say I like her a little better now.

If we are lucky enough to have had closets in our lives, most of us probably have left behind a few skeletons?

I like GaGa, but it's no secret that she 'draws inspiration' (read: copies) others. Irish singer Roisin Murphy, from the electronic duo Moloko is probably the most notable.

So have no horse in this race (How about that Belmont Horse....that is a horse I would like to have had though Animal Kingdom may have won the race but for that incident at the start.) So I am sticking to something in my brain that remembered, "Imitation is the purest form of flattery???" I am not in any danger as I cannot carry a tune!!! LOL
