It's Tony Bennett's birthday

He's 85 years old today. One of the best deliverers of popular song, ever. Many happy returns, sir!

One of my great great grandmothers is the sister of his grandmother... if only I could carry a tune like that....

I left my heart in SanFrancisco 25 years ago and moved here, now I'm afraid I'm going to have to leave it here and move to Montana or somewhere. I'm sick of this crap.

So go--this is about Tony Bennett, not you.

And congratulations to someone who, beyond his unique and lasting singing style, is one of those people cooler than we'll ever be, even beyond eighty...

Good luck and Godspeed,

Reportedly Mr. Bennett recently recorded a duet with Amy Winehouse. He had good things to say about her, and I suspect, since she was really old school as a singer, it could be a very good duet. Also, it shows that Mr. Bennett has been able to stay relevant, while maintaining his core, wonderful presence.
