Two Generations of Cool: Jay Z v. Frank Sinatra…Who Ya Got?
Who sang New York City’s true anthem better? Frank Sinatra and Jay-Z both have recorded sensational hits declaring their love for the city that never sleeps. Sinatra’s 1980’s hit, “New York, New York” still lives in on people’s hearts today while Jay-Z’s catchy hip-hop tune, “Empire State of Mind,”has become the anthem for all celebrated NY sport victories. Jay-Z claims he’s “the new Sinatra” in the hit song also, but does the Hoboken-native Frankie still hold the title for the city’s anthem.
Leading off is Jay-Z’s “Answer the Call” September 11th performance, followed at 11:30 p.m. by “Frank Sinatra: The Main Event”, a concert which originally aired live Oct. 13, 1974.
Check your local listing for Fuse Channel or the MSG Network, I suggest you get DVR’d up too!

It marks the beginning of the end of the apartheid era. 35 years later a Black president is heading the country and former ANC activists are organizing the biggest sports event in the world…an event that Sepp Blatter brought for them to South Africa.

Tiger Woods Apologizes, Admits Transgressions
from tigerwoods.com:
“I have let my family down and I regret those transgressions with all of my heart,” Woods said on his Web site. “I have not been true to my values and the behavior my family deserves.
