dunno, just threw out the topic coz i figured people would have some interesting things to say here. discussion will of course produce dissenting views. wasn't trying to enforce any orthodoxy, and since this was in "beyond tiki" i wasn't suggesting mr. sinatra had anything to do with tiki beyond probably partaking of it in its heyday as did many of his contemporaries. of course, as with anything on this board the implied intention is to discuss the artwork, not the moral righteousness of the artist. frank sinatra could very well have been a really bad man. one might have been personally affected by this and hold a personal grudge. the topic is more about the swank factor, the vibe, whether you enjoy it or not, perhaps one of his contemporaries better. i suppose a topic about whether any artist is an exemplary human being might get a fair amount of traffic, but i didn't figure this was that particular thread. mah $0.02.
