1. Good for her. So far, fRump doesn't seem to own hollywood

Or tv. So the celebrites are still speaking out.

They may be our only hope, our only voice of opposition.

2. I am amused that no A list performers will get near trump

3. I agree

although he backed Nixon and Raygun late in his life, Sinatra was very progressive on racial issues.

" Sinatra played a major role in the desegregation of Nevada hotels and casinos in the 1950s and 1960s.[547] At the Sands in 1955, Sinatra went against policy by inviting Nat King Cole into the dining room,[548] and in 1961, after an incident where an African-American couple entered the lobby of the hotel and were blocked by the security guard, Sinatra and Sammy Davis, Jr. forced the hotel management to begin hiring black waiters and busboys.[549] On January 27, 1961, Sinatra played a benefit show at Carnegie Hall for Martin Luther King, Jr. and led his fellow Rat Pack members and Reprise label mates in boycotting hotels and casinos that refused entry to black patrons and performers."

5. Agree with Va Lefty about SINATRA's beliefs on race. Tricky and RAYGUN might not have

been overt on the basis of race, but their wingnut economics and Tricky's Southern Strategy had definite impact on minorities.

6. Nixon was a reactionary but probably not really a racist

An odd bit of trivia is Sammy Davis Jr. was one of Nixon's few close friends.

8. Close? I wonder whether Tricky had any except for Bebe REBOZO, but oh well.

Bebe was more like a servant (with privileges?!1). But in the pic, Tricky was *such* a shrinking violet!1

[Sen. Walter Sobchak]

10. Nixon had a small close circle of friends

Most of them from his early years as a congressmen, a few he picked up along the way. The gay rumors about Rebozo are pretty far fetched.

4. Frank Sinatra walked out of hotels and restaurants that wouldn't serve black musicians

traveling with him and made a scene doing so.

7. Side note - "Frank Sinatra has a cold". Fantastic read from 1966

Frank Sinatra Has a Cold" is a profile of Frank Sinatra written by Gay Talese for the April 1966 issue of Esquire.[1] The article is one of the most famous pieces of magazine journalism ever written and is often considered not only the greatest profile of Frank Sinatra[2] but one of the greatest celebrity profiles ever written.[3][4][5] The profile is one of the seminal works of New Journalism and is still widely read, discussed and studied.[6][7] In the 70th anniversary issue of Esquire in October 2003, the editors declared the piece the "Best Story Esquire Ever Published".[1][8] Vanity Fair called it "the greatest literary-nonfiction story of the 20th century."
