Don't Stop
I'm sad. ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
glaucon and I just finished watching the last season of the Sopranos. I'm going to miss it. I'm still processing my deeper thoughts, but to paint a very broad picture of my opinion: this show is (was?) excellent television. HBO does some good shit, but this one is really good. One of my favorite things about it is that tension they maintain, between the "good" Tony you identify and sympathize with as a viewer, and the Tony who, on a dime, will beat someone to death--a close friend, in one instance. Dude strangles someone he recognizes as a rat in the witness protection program, while taking his daughter Meadow to check out prospective colleges. My favorite character on the show, though, has to be Silvio Dante. Christopher Moltisanti is a close second, but Sil is just...he's so over-the-top mobster, "wearing it," that he's actually believable.
glaucon tells me the actor (Steve Van Zandt) has a radio show that is really interesting. He described it to me, and I said, "I'll bet he's an Aquarius." Nope. His birthday is November 22, 1950. Scorpio, by the hairs on his ass.
