Frank yes, Shakespeare no.
Rolling Stones, yes.

There are just some artists who can't be constrained by that moniker. So I would say the Rolling Stones aren't even close to being that. They belong to the gods now. LOL.

Well I don't know what Josh buys. But I suppose any reasonably intelligent person, with halfway decent taste,might at least give Sinatra and Shakespeare the benefit of the doubt. LOL. |

Jockey Edgar Prado apologetic after upsetting Smarty Jones in Belmont Stakes
NEW YORK (AP) - For jockey Edgar Prado, his upset of Smarty Jones in the Belmont Stakes lacked some of the joy that usually comes with victory.
Sure, he was happy to ride 36-1 long shot Birdstone to the win Saturday. But Smarty Jones was the sentimental favourite, looking to become the first horse in 26 years to win the Triple Crown. One of Prado's first reactions? An apology to Smarty Jones' trainer, John Servis, and the rest of his team.
"I'm very sorry for Mr. Servis and all the connections for Smarty Jones, but I had to do my job," Prado said. "This is part of the business, and I'm very sorry it had to be me."
The rest of Birdstone's camp felt badly, too, from trainer Nick Zito to owner Marylou Whitney.
"It's sad because Smarty is great for racing," said Zito, who won the Belmont for the first time in 12 tries. "We've all become fans of Smarty Jones. He will still go down as one of the greats now."
Boos rang out from the record crowd of 120,139 when Birdstone returned to the winner's circle, just like last year after Empire Maker spoiled Funny Cide's Triple try.
Prado knows something about stunning upsets. He won his first Belmont in 2002 aboard Sarava, a 70-1 shot who spoiled War Emblem's Triple Crown try.
Smarty became known as the "people's horse" because of his humble pedigree, his roots at small-time Philadelphia Park and his down-to-earth trainer, Toronto-born jockey Stewart Elliott and owners Pat and Roy Chapman.
Birdstone comes from the ritzy side of town. The bay colt was bred in Kentucky by Whitney, whose family has been in racing for three generations. His sire, Grindstone, won the 1996 Belmont.
Whitney presides over an 88-acre breeding farm in Lexington, Ky. Her late husband, C.V. Whitney, won the Belmont in 1947 and 1951.
"I'm sorry, sorry, sorry Smarty Jones couldn't win," she said. "We do love Smarty, and I think Smarty Jones has done more for the racing community and people who love horses. It gives everyone the chance to think, 'This could happen to me."'
Her husband, John Hendrickson, added: "We do feel horrible."
Whitney seemed shaken by the booing as she clutched a small bouquet of white carnations in the winner's circle.
"Maybe they'll start loving Birdstone," she said.
Birdstone ran the gruelling 1� miles in 2:27.50 and paid $74, $14 and $8.60.
The colt won last year's Champagne Stakes as a two-year-old at Belmont. Early this year, he was touted as one of the top three-year-olds. But he tailed off in March, finishing fifth in the Lanes End at Turfway Park.
Birdstone lost more lustre with an eighth-place showing in the Kentucky Derby, where one of his shoes fell off on the muddy track.
Zito never lost faith; he simply adjusted his game plan.
"You have to just keep working hard and something might happen," he said.
Zito kept Birdstone out of the Preakness, and the colt spent the last three weeks training at Belmont.
"Smarty Jones is still pretty good, but this horse is bred for the distance," Prado said. "The time between races had him nice and fresh. I was very comfortable all the way around. I had a feeling he would run a real good race after the Derby. I feel happy and sad at the same time because we are really looking for a champion."
Zito had finished second five times in his hometown race. His other horse, Royal Assault, was third Saturday.
"I feel great," he said later.

My Grandfather (92) died last week. His "eulogy" was a big bunch of bullshit. Hardly any truth in it at all. Just Bullshit. I expect Reagan's eulogy will be bull shit too. |

Not necessarily ...........................
At Nixon's funeral , Henry Kissinger and Bob Dole both gave absolutely stirring eulogies ( Dole even broke down and cried like baby ) .
Tazzy !

I'm sorry to hear that. My ex's father's wake was hijacked by his nutty sister's born again christian bs. She invited this asshole who was a reformed drug addict to tell all the old Italians they were going to hell if they didn't become "saved". We were all hoping he'd make one last gesture and sit up in the casket and flick the bastard off!

Too bad it wasn't on video. At another family wake - they had a brawl in front of Uncle Tony's casket about who didn't chip in yet for the flowers. Uncle Fiore said "who cares - I'm next" - and he was! We had brussetta and antipasti in the waiting room.

Insalata di Polipi -- Octopus Salad
From Cosa Bolle in Pentola, my free newsletter:
While we're on the subject of octopus, here's a Calabrian recipe for octopus salad that will be a nice antipasto, also from Mr. Pradelli's book:
2 1/4 pounds (1 k) octopus, ideally small
2 cups (1/2 l) strong red wine vinegar
2 cups (1/2 l) water
Olive oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
3 tablespoons parsley, minced
Salt & freshly ground pepper
Clean the octopus, and put them in a pot with the vinegar and the water. Salt the pot, bring it to a boil, cover it, and simmer the octopus until it's fork tender.
Drain the octopus, trim the suckers (which are unpleasantly rubbery) from the tentacles, and dice the octopus, putting the pieces in a bowl (terracotta will look nice here). Season them with the minced herbs, salt and pepper to taste, abundant olive oil, and serve.
