Our Blue-Eyed Boy:
I was a teenager in the 1950s, so Frank Sinatra's music was always familiar
to me. Like everyone of my generation, his music was as much a part of life
as home and school. What put me in awe of the man was the first time I saw
"The Man with the Golden Arm" at the theater. I had never seen such acting
in a movie. I knew even as I was watching it that he would never do anything
like it again, and he must have known it, too. You can't repeat a performance
like that. You can't even build on it. He was an amazing actor.
The poet e.e. cummings wrote this about another American legend, but it
could have been written about Frank Sinatra:
and what i want to know is
HELLO I AM EXTRIMLEY SADDENED TO HEAR
OF FRANK SINATRA DEATH,HE WAS A GREAT
ACTOR AND A FINE PERSON,YOU KNOW
LIFE LITTLE WHILE IS GONE BEFORE WE
KNOW IT 3 SCORE AND 10 OR 4 SCORE BY
STRENGHT GOD REST HES SOUL.
Frank Sinatra is the end of an era to me.He lived life to the fullest and
we we fortunate to come along for the ride.What a ride it was! The
singer,the storyteller,the actor and the man that invented cool.He truly
did it his way.Even though he was only 1 day younger than my mother he
surpasses generations and through his music and clips he will continue to
live on in time.
Love you Frankie,
Sharon"Jesus
he was a handsome man
how do you like your blueeyed boy
