Tony Bennett, Benificent
By raincoasterI’m not at all sure that is spelled correctly, but it is accurate, as the following is an anecdote about the revered Tony Bennett behaving in reverence-inducing fashion, and that privately. Could I love the man more? Only if he were single, baby.
From Vanity Fair magazine:
I was a flight attendant for Trans World Airlines and years ago found myself near the ticket counter at the Frankfurt, Germany, airport when I recognized Tony Bennett standing in line. In front of Bennett was a young soldier who was obviously heading home from military duty and had far too much baggage. He was upset, almost in tears, because the agent had told him there would be a substantial charge to check his excess bags. He didn’t have the money. Bennett stepped forward and said quietly to the agent, “I’ll take care of it, don’t say anything.” I thought then, and still think, that was one of the kindest things I have ever seen. Not only is Bennett the greatest singer around, but he is truly a nice man.”

Just in case no one knows… Ayyyyyy! has no title on top, no links to the rest of the Manolosphere, Mail is operating on centers or some other weirdass layout, and if you comment, there is no way out… Just in case there is a mystery that Sarah MacLaughlin should be singin’ about…

Interesting. Which browser and version are you using? I’m using FF and see the header and links.
