@NancySinatra @FrankConniff Seeing him live at radio city was a privilege

Twenty-eight years ago, the world lost Frank Sinatra, and I lost my dad. I don’t think I’ll ever fully get over the loss of him, or the fact that my siblings and I were disregarded and not given a chance to say goodbye. My father was one of the most extraordinary men I ever had the privilege to know. What an incredible life he lived, and what a remarkable legacy he left behind. On this sad anniversary, I find myself thinking about all he accomplished, the joy he brought to so many people, and the love he gave to those closest to him. The world could certainly use his warmth, kindness, grace, and wonderful sense of humor today. He had a way of making people feel special, whether it was one person sitting beside him or on stage in front of thousands. What I regret most is that his great-grandchildren never got the chance to know him. Oh! How they would have loved each other. Twenty-eight years later, the world still sings along with him. Young people continue discovering him for the first time, while those who loved him from the beginning still treasure the man and his music. His music is special because it came from somewhere real, and because he meant every word he sang. He left behind a body of work that continues to bring people comfort, joy, romance, and strength. Dad was always concerned that his work would be forgotten, so he would be absolutely thrilled to know that his legacy lives on across generations, not only through his music, but in the hearts and on the playlists of millions of people around the world.   Frank Sinatra is eternal. And I still miss my Daddy. I love you, Poppa.

@Victoriamary Where in Laois? My cousins live in Montrath and love to run into him!

Gorgeous!

More Than Broadcasters: Why Gary, Keith and Ron Mean So Much To Mets Fans For 21 years, GKR haven’t just called Mets games—they’ve helped fans survive them. Link to article in reply.

@m_millsey The "e" stood for environmental!

Jane introduced me to Ted one night, at intermission of the premier of the movie Gettysburg (Ted produced it and had a small part in it as well) at the Fox in Atlanta. Ted looks me over and drawls, “Oh, you’re that environmental band.” R.I.P., Ted.

@JustinBrannan @RonCarterBass I saw him live circa 2005 and he ruled, glad to hear he is healthy and can still do it, and yes he is the GOAT

Stage left for @RonCarterBass THE GOAT last night at the Blue Note. Amazing show. Happy 89th birthday to the legend.

@LordGrimdark @Pierce_Brown NYC signing?

I am in LA. Sold out evening at the Grove Barnes and Noble tonight with @Pierce_Brown…

@justinamash All the while hitting the hardcore matinee at CB's and pontificate about "Unity" and "the kids." History repeats itself itself

Straight out of 1984: Declare an indefinite ceasefire. Claim hostilities are “terminated.” Tell Congress: War Powers Resolution clock resets. Maintain a military blockade, which is an act of war. Launch further hostilities at any time. Fight for another 60 days. (Repeat.)

@JustinBrannan @poozer87 @NickReisman C'est Manifique!

@poozer87 @NickReisman 92% on the French Regents

Reporter @NickReisman's proficiency in French is paying off this budget season.

@BusterKeatonSoc An insanely great movie!!!"

@nytimesmusic "So, what you do if you saw Robert Hanford?" "I'd jump his bones!"

Forty years on, among fans in the know, the documentary sits firmly in the pantheon of immortal rock films, alongside far more well known heavyweights such as “School of Rock” and “This Is Spinal Tap.” nytimes.com/2026/04/27/art…

@FrankConniff Agreed, especially as a mick!

TWO CUNTS.

@JustinBrannan Love this band SO much, but what a terrible cover!

Album of the day

@HowieRose Wonderful post I had the privilege of seeing him at Shea a few times, a transcendental experience!

83 years old. The gift to the world that keeps on giving. Ringo is 85 and just released a new album. They are truly forever.

@JustinBrannan Long intro by Cheetah, great drums coming in, can almost imagine Stiv hitting all the notes on this ad!

If you read this and hear the Dead Boys

Just saw the first two episodes of the new animated Stranger Things 85. Good animation, great plot and soundtrack. It's coming out soon so highly recommended! #strangerthingsㅤㅤ
