        Royko=Beloved in Chicago. They are rerunning his old columns in the Sun Times currently. Been dead since 1997.

        Thanks so much for this, Michael! This letter is a riot! Sinatra calling out 'Fake News' back in '76!

        I like where #Sinatra says, "Quite frankly". Did he ever say, "Let me be frank"? Hollywood Treasure #FrankSinatraToupee Segment https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IfE9IXLy-zM … How much longer do we have to wait to see a #tRumpHairStack documentary — Toupee, or not toupee? #tRump #FrankSinatra

        #FrankSinatra’s son, #RonanFarrow, supposedly wears blue-tinted contact lenses so he can see them well enough to be able to put them on his eyes. Maybe he should try rose-colored lenses like #tRumpsters wear when viewing their idol.http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3021770/Frank-Sinatra-vasectomy-Ronan-Farrow-not-son-claims-Tina-Sinatra.html …

        #FrankSinatra wrote — "Who the hell gives you the right to decide how disliked I am..?" Actually, "freedom of speech" allegedly gives all of us the right to decide how disliked we can make each other — using #Twitter & other media to expose reality. Insult responsibly, my friends

        It wasn’t just #Sinatra's singing voice & styling — it was also his speaking voice & style. Imagine #WoodyAllen singing that song. He’s supposedly a musician too, but you see what I mean. #WithoutASong #FrankSinatra #LiveAtTheMeadowlands 1986https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jxONVR6uKus …

        #WoodyAllen sounds like a squealing train wreck to me. The previous #Sinatra #Meadowlands intro makes me ask — why is there always one woman squealing in every large audience that’s applauding an entertainer? Or was that Woody trying to play his clarinet?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hcHWmQD6Cwc …

        Wow, Sinatra's hostility to the free press in grafs 4 & 6 and the insults and ugliness in this letter are terrible. Mike Royko was one of the truly great newspaper columnists, and classy, too-when I wrote him a "fan" note in the 90's he graciously replied with a thank-you letter.

        Royko was a very entertaining writer. Used to read him every morning in the Herald Tribune. But Frank was right. People loved him for his singing.

        You cut off the copyright notice. Sinatra may be dead, but his estate succeeded to his copyrights, which I believe are still valid & enforceable
