Members Meowy Posted March 23, 2009 Members Share Posted March 23, 2009 As charismatic a showman as there ever was, a crooner and an amazing talent - Whether you care for the musical style or not this cannot be objectively denied.

Members guitarcapo Posted March 23, 2009 Members Share Posted March 23, 2009 How a crooner compares with a rock-a-billy guitarists escapes me.Maybe you're comparing their acting abilities? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members El Glom-o Posted March 23, 2009 Members Share Posted March 23, 2009 I wasn't aware that Setzer had extensive mob contacts... Setzer's from Long Island. No organized crime syndicate influence there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Burgess Posted March 23, 2009 Members Share Posted March 23, 2009 Frank Sinatra was the biggest star of his era. He was the man before Elvis came along. Brian Setzer is a great player but I can't imagine every housewife in Boise Idaho knows his name. People used to put Frank Sinatra's portrait next to Jesus' in their home. Setzer's name only comes up around Christmas time in my house. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bsman Posted March 23, 2009 Members Share Posted March 23, 2009 I would actually say that Springsteen is a more appropriate comparison... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Doctor Morbius Posted March 23, 2009 Members Share Posted March 23, 2009 I don't have portraits of Setzer or Jesus. I am going to get a velvet Elvis painting though, if that counts. And yes, I am 100% dead serious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Meowy Posted March 23, 2009 Author Members Share Posted March 23, 2009 Geez. I was just talking about stage presence... not acting ability, mob connections, or if people in Idaho know of him. Showmanship, period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members nuke_diver Posted March 23, 2009 Members Share Posted March 23, 2009 I wonder if 20 something year old housewives in Idaho know who Frank is still? I know the 20 something guys around here mostly don't know who Jimmy Page is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Meowy Posted March 23, 2009 Author Members Share Posted March 23, 2009 X2 I was thinking the same thing As far as I know Setzer never {censored}ed Nancy and as an added bonus he is still alive.
