According to my web research1, Frank Sinatra recorded over 1,200 songs.
I doubt that I've heard more than a hundred or so of them myself as I'm not a Really Big Fan, but I do dearly love several of his songs. So I bought 2 a cd of his greatest hits.
And as I was listening to it a few moments ago, I started wondering how many songs he had recorded, and then I started thinking: "I'll bet that Sinatra never once said that he wanted to fuck a woman or referred to a one as a bitch."
Sure, he expressed sexual desire and he indicated that some women were of more dubious virtue than others . . . but he never stooped to expressing himself crassly.
And that's the difference between then and now, I suppose.
Then was better.
At least in this regard.
1 Okay, just a quick Google, but that's what the 21st Century is for, right?
2 Yes, bought.
