And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
This image features entertainers Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin on a golf course, likely in 1988.
Iconic Pair: Sinatra and Martin were prominent members of the "Rat Pack," a famous group of entertainers in the 1950s and 1960s.
Beverage Cart Origins: Legend has it that the two singers helped popularize the concept of the golf course beverage cart because they refused to play without cocktails.
Frequent Golfers: Both men frequently played golf at various famous venues, including the Old Brockway Golf Course in Lake Tahoe.
I think that's Mr. "Lived back then". Those guys are real to us. My favorite Sinatra story is the time he hired some workmen to go into his friends apartment (lived below Frank) and remove the door to his bedroom. Then Frank waited with the window open until his friend got home, waited, waited ... "What! WTF! FRANK you SOB!"
They were very real to us. I liked the time when Sinatra was on the Tonight Show, and Johnny said, "We play Sinatra music when we're trying to make it with a woman. What do you put on?"
The Sunken Cathedral, by Debussy, or something similar, it turned out.
They both look a bit worse for wear.

The beverage cup holders on the cart look suspiciously empty. What’s up with that?
ReplyDeleteParty animals to the max. Those guys new a good time when they seen it.
