The Dean

..... to Frank Sinatra.

Ten years dead today.

Spugsy

a proper legend he was, no-one like him before or after.

It certainly seems to have been longer than 10 years since he passed away...I remember sitting on a bus crossing the Golan Heights listening to a local radio station in August 1977 when they announced that Elvis had died, but cannot remember anything about Big Frank's demise.

Spugsy

I was in a shitty indie club in Newcastle when they announced kurt cobains death.

The Dean

...and I am the only person in the greater universe who CANNOT remember where he was, or what he was doing, when JFK's death was announced.....

I was six years old, so I feel ashamed about this.

Elvis v Frank? Sinatra died old (nothing special) but Elvis was 42 - dying young has always been a good career move.......
