“The instinct to create legend
or myth obscures the facts, and not even
Sinatra was a reliable witness to his own beginnings, and he knew it.”

“‘Sometimes I think I know what it was all about, and how everything
happened,’ he said one rainy night in New York. ‘But then I shake my
head and wonder. Am I remembering what really happened or what other
people think happened? Who the hell knows, after a certain point?'”
