Nov. 8: The Agony of Frank Sinatra Jr.

Frank Sinatra Jr. has the voice, the stage presence and the look. So why is he not successful? Or, rather, why does HE say he’s not successful? In this conversation with Steve, the son of the legendary Chairman of the Board is stunningly candid about the disappointments in his life, including the fact that he never really felt close to his father and doesn’t know whether his dad was proud of him. Plus, find out what famous actor’s home he and his friends never visited on Halloween, learn how he felt about playing such off-Strip sites as Boulder Station and the Suncoast, and hear some intimate details about his 1963 kidnapping. Also, how did that unusual appearance on the pilot of the Vegas-set CBS show “The Defenders” come about?

The Strip is LIVE Sat w/ Frank Sinatra Jr!

The Podcast-a-Palooza was great fun, but we're back on track in the LVRocks.Com for the live show with a remarkably revealing and intimate conversation with Frank Sinatra Jr., who is at The Orleans for shows on Nov. 19-21.

He really answers everything. What did he do for the days that he was kidnapped in 1963? What famous star's doorbell did the kids in his L.A. neighborhood never ring on Halloween? Why does he feel that he's never been a success?

The Strip starts at 12:30 p.m. PT. From noon to 12:30 p.m., Amy and I will do one episode of The Petcast featuring an interview with anthropologist Barbara J. King, author of "Being With Animals: Why We Are Obsessed with the Furry, Scaly, Feathered Creatures Who Populate Our World."

As always, you can listen live at via LVRocks.Com and join the chat with fellow listeners. Or wait and grab the podcast version via iTunes or Zune or listen via that nifty "Listen Now" player on TheStripPodcast.Com or ThePetcast.Com. Your call.
