Work is sending me to Chicago! in 17 days! Yikes!

(I'll be there three nights -- anything fun to do in Chicago? Anyone? Echo! echo! echo!)

Everything I know about Chicago, I learned from music

Frank Sinatra, "Chicago"
-bet your bottom dollar you'll lose your blues in Chicago
-the town that Billy Sunday could not shut down
-on State Street, that great street ... they do things they don't do on Broadway

Frank Sinatra, "My Kind of Town"
-chicago is the wrigley building
-chicago is the union stockyard
-chicago is one town that won’t let you down

"All That Jazz", Chicago
-I know a whoopee spot where the gin is cold but the piano's hot
-It's just a noisy hall where there's a nightly brawl and all that jazz

"Nowadays", Chicago
-there's men everywhere
-jazz everywhere
-booze everywhere
-life everywhere
-joy everywhere, nowadays
-You can even marry Harry but mess around with Ike.

"Class", Chicago
-there ain't no gentelmen to open up the doors,
-there ain't no ladies now there's only pigs and whores
-and even kids'll knock you down so's they can pass
-oh, There ain't no gentelmen that's fit for any use,
-and any girl will touch your privates for a douse
-and even kids'll kick your shins and give ya sass
-nobody's got no class!!!



Also ... you're the meaning in my life, you're the inspiration.

Hope that helps. :)
