d'oh! You're right--Crane, not Quinn. What threw me off
is Craney's middle name is Quenton or something like that
and someone once called into Howie's show to do a song based on "Clancy lowered the boom" and one of the verses mentioned
"Robert Quenton Crane". The verse dealt with someone entering "the dreaded private sector".
"Billy Bulger, Billy Bulger
Whenever you got your Irish up
Billy lowered the boom, boom boom boom, boom" etc.
