People come and go, but it seems cool is forever.
What s cool yesterday sometimes finds a second life. I ve just finished reading a couple of books about what was the height of cool 40 years ago. The second was Rat Pack Confidential by Shawn Levy. Rat Pack Confidential is a fascinating read, covering the rise and fall of Frank Sinatra, Martin, Peter Lawford, Sammy Davis Jr. and Joey Bishop the core of the Rat Pack and their assorted friends, enemies and hangers-on. But as it turns out, the Rat Pack s cool was just veneer covering the often unpleasant, sometimes tortured lives of its members.
