It's not any particular thing, just the vibe I get from it - that serious, macho attitude turns me off. I guess I like my music to be more laid-back. To give an example, I prefer Robbie Williams' and Nicole Kidman's cover of Something Stupid. It's just....dunno, more fun to listen to. I confess to never hearing a full album of his though, just the ocasional song.

He sings about lonlieness and heartache a lot more than most people realize. I don't hear macho posturing.

I would rather have met him than Van Morrison.

Then you're not really in a position to judge his music, Ovi. But it's good of you to admit that.

I met him once. I can tell you that he is a man full of contradictitions and mood swings. But he was wise and genuinely concerned about his fellow man. At the end of World War II, Frank Sinatra along with several others in show business made strong statements against the rampant prejudice existent at that time. He's most noted for this short film he made in 1945...
The House I Live In - with Frank Sinatra
The House I Live In 1945
He was a philanthropist and donated millions of dollars for worthy causes, most notably hospital buildings here and abroad. I learned medicine and surgery in an auditorium donated by him to a major university in New York City.

Me neither. Certainly not in his singing.

He does seem to have a certain reputation regarding his attitude toward women but that's not always a fair way to judge people. In looking around the Internet I saw some quotes attributed to him that seem to indicate that he did indeed respect and admire women. I just don't care for the term "broad" and he seemed to use that quite often! But I do like his music a lot.
