For some reason I thought she passed away years ago.

A week later Joe Pesci responded.

"She was very lucky it wasn't my show, because if it was my show, I would have gave her such a smack."

She was troubled. Hopefully she’s at peace now.

She had converted to Islam a while ago but I hope she converted back to Christ before she signed out.

If memory serves, that’s the “I’ve got chunks of guys like you in my stool!” skit.

Frank Sinatra: Shut up! Okay, issue number four: Milli Vanilli. What is this faggot crap? Uncle Fester!

Sinead O’Connor: I don’t understand the question.

Frank Sinatra: I’ll tell you what you better understand! Next time you see Old Glory riding up that pole, you better sing that anthem, darling! You’re lucky you’re a chick, or you’d be nothing but a stain on the road and a crewcut. Our founding fathers went to the mat for you, baby!

Sinead O’Connor: It’s not my flag – I’m Irish.

Frank Sinatra: Oh? Well, then stay off of this stuff.. [ mimes drinking ] That’s the curse of you people. Billy Idol!

Sting mocking Billy Idol was an underappreciated cherry on top of that bit.

She protested when it wasn’t the easy thing to do, when no one knew about these problems and when no one believed her. Profile of Courage. I don’t know about anything else of her life so can’t comment.

“In 1990, Frank Sinatra threatened to “kick her in the ass,” after she said she would not perform if the U.S. national anthem was played before one of her concerts. “

Bye.

What is it about those Irish singers? I think of Dolores O’Riordan of The Cranberries, who also suffered with depression.

She actually though was a fairly devout Catholic, even performed in front of the Pope.

So many musicians and entertainers struggle with intoxicants and mental issues. She had almost three more decades of life than Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix, and the other “27s”.

I’ve been reading about Mississippi Delta Blues pioneer Charlie Patton. He was one of those singer/guitarists who could drum his guitar in order to be his own percussionist while he strummed, picked, and played the strings loud and proud. His voice was super strong. And yet he was only recorded in small studios that did hillbilly, gospel, and blues. Patton was a wild party animal, a love ‘em and leave ‘em fella, but he would periodically come back to the Bible and get straight for a bit and fall away again. He wore out and died at 43 in 1934.

Frank Sinatra: You don’t scare me. I’ve got chunks of guys like you in my stool!

Billy Idol: Alright, I’ll rip your bloody head off.

Frank Sinatra: Steve, go kick his ass.

Steve Lawrence: [ confused ] What?

Frank Sinatra: You heard me!

Eydie Gorme: Do it, Steve!

Steve Lawrence: Huh? Well.. okay.. [ stands over Billy ]

Billy Idol: You got it. [ punches Steve in the gut, knocking him to the floor ]

Frank Sinatra: Next week, the Grammy Awards. Where the hell is Vicki Carr’s album? Bye bye. [ overlooking the fight ] Keep the hands up, Steve..

She was a leftist through and through.

Every time a leftist dies, an angel gets his wings.

And the line came from Al Franken. It was funny, but they had nothing to use it in, so the entire skit was built around it.
