Tony Got Whacked!

Okay, so Liz and I have loved the Sopranos from the begining. Hell, one of the main reasons we're together is 'cause she had HBO in her 16th St. apartment and I needed a place to get my Mafia fix. We've watched every episode together, even the last two seasons when it really sucked. When we watched "Made in America", the last episode in the show, we were ready to be let down again, and for a few minutes there (while the credits were rolling) we were. However, as we're both incurable over-analyzers especially when it comes to media, we hadda pick apart this ending until we found it to be a many layered (albeit most likely glass) onion of death references, dark foreshadowing and even religious symbolisim. All of which seemed to point to the fact that when the screen went black, we did not in fact lose our satelite reception, but were experiencing Tony's last seconds of conciousness before death from his POV. This killer? The man in the "Member's Only Jacket" (as he was credited) coming out of the bathroom in the blind spot to Tony's right. Remember the last time Tony was shot was in an episode titled "Member's Only". The best, and most complete, interpretation of this ending as we see it can be found not in this blog, but in this one: www.bobharris.com (Wasn't 'Bob Harris' the name of Bill Murray's Character in Lost in Translation?) Anyway, this lead me to a bit of creativity, which of course is the real reason for my posting today, and here it is:

Yes, it's a shallow attempt to ride the most current wave of pop culture but I'm not the only one. Lookit the Clintons fer God's sake!

Okay, so visit my new Cafe Press store, but a T-shirt if ya wanna, and thanks for lookin' at Dobieville.
