So who was it that was to off Tony Soprano?

[85Sooner]

I was watching so intently that I didn't notice. Evidently no one else did either.

The man who sat at the bar in the members only coaty then got up to go to the bathroom was in fact.............................................. ...............








Steve Perry , Thats right, the Journey front man that was singing Don't stop believin on the juke box. Pretty Creative

bottom of story "odds and ends"


That was Journey lead singer Steve Perry who played the ostensible hitman in the last scene of "The Sopranos." While his record, "Don't Stop Believing" was playing, it was Perry who entered the diner, sat at the counter, and then visited the men's room. A nice touch.

I don't see the story you are referencing, but I did see that one about how Patsy Parisi's wife was played by Donna Pescow, best known to me at the trampy Annette in "Saturday Night Fever." Which I pointed out to Czar as we were watching Sunday night.

I did find this Entertainment Weekly interview with Steve Perry, talking about the use of the song. He doesn't talk about appearing in the final episode, but in the third interview question, he does call the (potential) hitman a "buffoon." Heh.

Really?

Go to the link. first there is a story of ang jolie, then sir paul, then under "odds and ends" is where it talks about S Perry

I don't see anything either. They must have taken the story down. I don't think it was Steve Perry.

As God is my witness, I see Angelina, I see Sir Paul, I see Odds 'n' Ends... under odds and ends I see:

Odds 'n' Ends
That was Donna Pescow, known to 1970s TV viewers as "Angie," playing Pat Parisi's mom who couldn't tell a joke in the final episode of "The Sopranos." ...
Many kudos to our pal Jim Kerr, the legendary New York DJ at Q104.3 FM, the only classic rock station left in our fair city. It was Jim's voice that woke up Tony Soprano at the start of the final episode on Sunday. The song he was playing was Vanilla Fudge's rendition of "You Keep Me Hangin' On." ...
Thursday would have been the 63rd birthday of my great friend, novelist Laurie Colwin, who died unexpectedly in 1992 at age 48.
As her many fans know, Laurie's wonderful novels, books of short stories and essays are all still in print. From the gloriously funny "Happy All the Time" to the trenchant "Another Marvelous Thing" and "Home Cooking," Laurie — who wrote for the New Yorker and discovered Fran Lebowitz — was a unique and resonant voice in modern literature. She truly lives on in her work. ...

And that's it... no additional links. Do you suppose they took it down?

But it would be hilarious if it was him and he called himself a buffoon.

[85Sooner]

your right. It must have been taken down.

The part that I cut and pasted on the original post was what it said.

[Viking Kitten]

It's awesome if its true. We've got it DVRd. I'll go home and watch it again tonight... I'd recognize that schnoz anywhere.

I don't know that any TV episode in recent memory has provoked so much discussion as this one did
