Well, I was really talking in terms of the Rat Pack since Uzi referenced their ripe old ages, as opposed to those rock stars dying of drug overdoses before hitting age 30. Personally, I would love to have seen Janis Joplin come through it all & be around today, about 60 years old and belting them out in clubs with the same heart & soul, but a little more wisdom under her belt. It would've been nice.
By the way, Joey Bishop, the only Rat Packer still living, did not drink & off-stage was not a part of Sinatra's inner circle. Ironic, isn't it...??
