I’ve never understood why Frank Sinatra was a star. Compared to many of his contemporaries, he couldn’t sing very well, starred in a lot of bad movies and was a bona fide jerk to many of those around him. He also recorded the utterly horrible “New York, New York,” another tune I need to add to the list of songs I never want to hear again. And there was also that horrible wig he wore in later years, which looked completely daft.

After someone at the United States Post Office got the bright idea to raise the price of a first-class stamp to $.42 on May 12, they also decided to pay homage to Sinatra by giving Ol’ Blue Eyes his own stamp.

On Tuesday, there’s going to be a ceremony in Midtown honoring the late singer. Sinatra’s children, Nancy and Frank Sinatra Jr., will be on hand for the dedication, as will bigwigs from the USPS and Rep. José E. Serrano (D-NY), a lifelong Sinatra fan who learned to speak English from listening to his father's Sinatra records. Another event will be held in Las Vegas featuring Tina Sinatra and stamp artist Kazuhiko Sano.

The ceremony you’ll really want to avoid will be at 3pm at Pier A Park at 1st Street and Frank Sinatra Drive near the Frank Sinatra Post Office in Hoboken. A 10-ft. image of the stamp will be unveiled with the New York City skyline in the background. It's enough to make anyone go postal.
