Bad Ass Hall of Fame - Frank Sinatra

THE CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD
The other night I was watching an infomercial selling DVDs of Dean Martin's celebrity roasts...today's television and movies stars have nothing on the legends of that era...more specifically, there were some bad ass men from that era...

That led me thinking to start recognizing these bad ass legends...to me, a bad ass is a tough guy - a man's man...someone who has that aura of respect...therefore I am creating a Bad Ass Hall of Fame...every now and them I will induct someone in this Hall of Honor...

The nickname of the first inductee says it all "The Chairman of the Board"...that is the best nickname of all-time...and Frank Sinatra was the baddest of bad asses...Sinatra died 10 years ago today, May 14, 1998...

Legend has it that Sinatra was buried in a blue suit with a flask of Jack Daniel's and a roll of ten dimes which was a gift from his daughter, Tina, along with a card that said "Sleep warm, Poppa — look for me"...the words "The Best Is Yet to Come" are imprinted on his tombstone...

Sinatra was someone who had it all - he could sing, act, dance, etc...and most of all, he partied hard...his song "I Did My Way" is a classic along with "Mack the Knife" and "New York, New York"...

Sinatra was also ahead of his times as he did not perform in clubs that excluded African-American people...
