Awesome deal! I have a little bit older greatest hits collection (2 discs) that is on my long-drive rotation, along with the Eagles greatest hits, Rolling Stones 40 Licks, and Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons greatest. Nothin' like Old Blue Eyes to get you through interstate traffic snarls.

Number6,
I am a free man, too.
Too bad the re-do was so utterly pathetic.
Patrick McGoohan must be rolling over in his grave.
OK, you take 6, and I am going to grab 7.

Ken, I didn't even watch the remake, much as I adore Ian McKellen. The Village looked like the prison it was with its rows of uniform houses, while part of the cleverness of the original was that The Village looked like your typical seaside resort (which it actually was). I understand that in paring the original down to a miniseries changes must be made, but (again, much as I adore Ian McKellen) keeping the same Number Two throughout seems like it would take away from the mystery. The constant (and with some of the lesser numbers, seemingly random) replacement of numbers heightens the mysteriousness of the place and its reason for being.
On topic: Sinatra rules! I really need to rewatch Pal Joey and the original Ocean's Eleven.

Clicking on the "Chairman of the Bored" (sounds like a good column headline, Amy) link takes you to Iggy Pop. Which is great and all, but not in the same vein as Frank. http://www.amazon.com/Chairman-Board-Interpretations-Famous-Sinatra/dp/B000008KQI/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=music&qid=1266815093&sr=8-2
This is the link to a Chairman of the Board CD with other artists' interpretations of Sinatra songs. Is this the one you meant?

Well, clearly I'm in fine form today! I did see "I'm Bored" on the song list, but I thought maybe Amazon had redirected there. Obviously, I'm not up on my Iggy Pop, though I do like "Lust for Life," if only because it's featured heavily in Trainspotting. Sorry for my ignorance! I still think you should use "Chairman of the Bored" as a headline at some point in the future.

Personally,I like Tommy Castro's version:

It's a live version, the studio version is on his "Right as Rain" CD. Either way, it's smokin'!
