2. I miss Sinatra
I think he was awesome.

This show is good - did you know Joey Bishop didn't drink or smoke?

and they said Sinatra spilled more than Dino drank.

4. Yeah, Dean Martin wasn't the party animal he was made out to be
It was all part of the act.

7. After the Rat Pack show they did a special
on Dino.

Interesting guy - his major vice was women, not alcohol, for decades. Late in life he took to drinking heavily.

3. wow
they say one of the reasons Peter Lawford was "taken in" by Sinatra is because Sinatra wanted nothing more than for Kennedy to make him Ambassador to Italy.

5. The Rat Pack or Dean Martin?
KQED's doing one on Martin. It's talking about the Rat Pack right now.
