Over the last week or so, posters for this disc have been cropping up all over Adams Morgan:



Yes, Bolton Swings Sinatra. I had hoped against hope that this was some kind of hipster prank, Adams Morgan being the party mecca that it is for the college and post-college set. Sadly, it appears to be all too real. Michael Bolton bringing his unique song stylings (e.g. screeching and straining in a faux-earnest fashion) to some of the best loved hits of Ol' Blue Eyes.

That this exists doesn't really surprise or bother me. That virtually every shop owner in Adams Morgan is willing to put up the poster does, immensely. I hope they at least made a few bucks on the deal.

One other thing I've noticed walking through the neighborhood and riding the Metro of late is all the kids running around with their backpacks. And based on my purely unscientific observations of what these tykes like, I think I've come up with the mortal-lock smash hit story of the decade: Spider-Man meets Dora the Explorer

Trust me, the pre-tweens would eat this up with a spoon.
