No flames from me. I liked the Sopranos, but the reverence for the show must have been Northeast-centric...kind of like their idolization of Springsteen.
Reminds me of a business trip to Chicago 20+ years ago. Several of us went to a disco that played music videos. I was singing along to a couple of ZZ Top vids (they were good back then), and I was asked "wow, how do you know those songs?" I simply replied, ZZ Top is to Texas as Springsteen is to New Yorkers.
Oh, if only Stevie Ray Vaughn had a video...
Of course, Springsteen never meant anything to me.
I’ve never seen the Sopranos, but this is America today, when even grown man news is dominated by Hollywood celebrities.
Sixty years ago, men had news and information sources that they could use without being emerged in celebrity gossip and information.
Today dad, and his teeny bopper daughter and his Hollywood loving wife all share very similar information.
