The August 24, 79 A.D. eruption of Vesuvius, Bastile, and Frank Sinatra at Pompeii

I like Bastille and they actually do a Pompeii/Vesuvius related song.

Was the eruption just before Terentius agreed to bake a gay wedding cake?

Come Rain or Come Shine - Pompeia 91 by Franklyjoy22

It was not good day in Pompeii on August 24, 79 A.D.

But Come Rain and Come Shine is a great Arlen and Mercer Song performed in the Pompeii Amphitheater by Frank Sinatra in September 1991 (Frank may not have been in the best of voice that night, but it still would have been a fabulous show to see in that venue).
