...those Rat Pack members chose the vices that kill you slowly - booze & cigarettes.

If you think about it, Sinatra lived to be 82 but not in the best of health ... one of the saddest things I ever read the weekend after he died, was a good friend had quoted Frankie as saying, "I'm not a man anymore." about a year earlier. Sammy smoked all his life and preferred to die of throat cancer rather than have his voicebox removed & not be able to sing. Dino spent his final days eating dinner alone at his favorite restaurant - spaghetti, cigarettes & scotch - a broken man since the death of his son a few years earlier.

Ah yes, there's something to be said about living a long life and looking back at the good old days.
