i like the Bob Dylan story.

quote:

He was funny, we were standing out on his patio at night and he said to me, You and me, pal, we got blue eyes, were from up there, and he pointed to the stars, Dylan remarked. These other bums are from down here. I remember thinking that he might be right.

He was the Jewel of The Nile, and in those an emerald the size of a golf ball was worth a lot of money. Everyone was trying to get their hands on him.

It's sort of funny because Sinatra was in that movie, it was the first and only screenplay Harlan wrote for a feature and critics ripped it to poo poo. That plus the fact that Ellison was a famously quarrelsome, vain little fucker, make it more than a little funny that Sinatra decided to kick him while he was down.

ANYWAYS, this episode of This American Life has all the answers you seek OP

Sinatra insulted women journalists in australia back when we had strong unions. And he refused to apologise so the unions grounded his plane, denied him room service, and refused to work at any venue he was performing at, trapping him until he had someone else write an apology and had someone read it on his behalf.

Fuckin get wrecked you dead old prick.

He was the Belle of the Ball and when he agreed to let me take him to the dance is was the happiest day of my life. Sammy was devastated but you know in those days people just wouldn't tolerate a black cat and a white cat going to a dance together.

I just started watching kinda a crappy documentary on it because of this post and its soooo funny. It must have been so humiliating for the rear end in a top hat, all the tough union dudes banding together to own him because he talked poo poo about our lady journalists in a weird misogynistic way.

This is Artanis, mighty hero of the Protoss. His name spelled backwards is Sinatra. Hard to be an alcoholic crooner without a mouth though.

It's some ol' bullshit how they retconned that this guy was "The Executor" (the player) in the first campaign.

If that was him, then why is he a newly promoted Praetor taking orders from a different Executor (still the player) in Brood Wars??? You're gonna tell me "dude who flies around in a fancy Scout ship" is a higher rank than running the whole thing? Bunch of nonsense, Blizzard.

this is hella rad because its 1966 and Harlan was (presumbly) :350: AF

Could you imagine Frank Sinatra hassling you about your doofy weed smoking boots?

Also they leave out that Harlan Ellison is 5'3". Just a wee little man being bullied by Frank Sinatra

I like how ostensibly its to keep Jr. away from the nasty man with hoodlum friends, when in reality its because Sr. already had all the mafia buddies he needed, and he didnt want Giancana loving things up.

As a reference to the phenomenon, Japanese rock band Kishidan released an uptempo rock cover of "My Way" as their 10th anniversary single, with a promotional music video featured lead singer (Ayonocozy Show) being shot numerous times while singing the song. Ayonocozy is then shot once more in the back while walking away after the song is concluded, collapsing in a heap on the stairs. A shortened version was used as a commercial.

I mean I guess his voice was alright but he didn't even really sing, he sounds more like he was just... talking in tune.

Also you can tell he's an rear end in a top hat just looking at him, though I guess that's better than being some secret undercover rear end in a top hat.

Because, he gave 50% of his money to a Foundation to benefit orphaned girls!

Myyyyy Waiiiii!

And he sung in D#, with moxy and conviction!

Good stuff.

According to the article Harlan was dressed like Robin Hood, for some reason. Bitchy egomaniac, dressed like Robin Hood, being freaked out at by a fussy neat freak for not existing correctly. These men were our posting ancestors, the dinosaurs to our canaries.
