"I have a hunch that his reason for the recordings he does now is to help others"
That is a terrific insight Schubert. I mean I would never have thought of that but now that you mention it, it makes perfect sense. Take Stephanie for instance, he more than likely sees something in her that transcends her "Gaga" image to some but certainly not her "little monsters". As Schubert noted which is telling "Gaga said to Tony jokingly , "I'know I'm just a tramp" , Tony shot back "I KNOW you're a lady playing the role of a tramp". He sees the Stephanie side, the other side of the "weird" to some persona she projects. The love that this man has for others is just this joy and hope that can't but help make you smile everytime you see or listen to him sing. Yes, his voice is pretty well gone but the love projected is the message. Long live Tony Bennett!
