for some reason this quote came to mind just now
You know, we always called each other good fellas. Like you said to, uh, somebody, :You're gonna like this guy. He's all right. He's a good fella. He's one of us.: You understand? We were good fellas. Wiseguys. But Jimmy and I could never be made because we had Irish blood. It didn't even matter that my mother was Sicilian. To become a member of a crew you've got to be one hundred per cent Italian so they can trace all your relatives back to the old country. See, it's the highest honor they can give you. It means you belong to a family and crew. It means that nobody can fuck around with you. It also means you could fuck around with anybody just as long as they aren't also a member. It's like a license to steal. It's a license to do anything. As far as Jimmy was concerned with Tommy being made, it was like we were all being made. We would now have one of our own as a member
Twelve fucking years roaming these message boards. Either posting nerd bullshit or just praying SOMETHING would happen. Hell, even lurking a few times a week when I swore to myself i'd give all this shit up.
I've seen more familiar names in the past few days that I had forgotten and now seeing WARF over here and James over there get to take part in this great moment. Unreal. I'm so happy for all the internet nerds who have stuck by these dysfunctional musicians that made music that was so INCREDIBLE that you can't help but stand around and yell for more.
Damn good times indeed!
