My biography of Frank Sinatra is not paean to his music but rather an illumination of the man behind the music who once described himself as 'an 18-karat manic-depressive who lived a life of violent emotional contradictions with an over-acute capacity for sadness as well as happiness.'
I would never want to live in L.A. and I made that decision years ago so I never chose that path for myself although I have much respect for those that do it at a high level.
