Talk:Fortunate Son (The Sopranos)

George Fresolone

I thought maybe the page should contain a reference to George Fresolone, who tried to launch a court action against HBO for allegedly using dialogue he recorded while working as an informant against organised crime in Philadelphia and South Jersey in 1990.

Fresolone recorded his initiation ceremony, and judging from newspaper reports it does seem to bear a close relationship to Christopher's.

I'm not sure where to put such a reference though. Could someone more experienced than me make a decision?

Quote: Secret Tape Captures A Mob Initiation Rite A Bombshell Lands On 'Tony Buck' Piccolo. http://articles.philly.com/1994-11-08/news/25867911_1_mob-initiation-mob-figure-crime-family

Fresolone and others referred to Piccolo as the "acting boss" of the crime family then headed by imprisoned mobster Nicodemo "Little Nicky" Scarfo.

Piccolo's voice, however, had been picked up in only a handful of the conversations played for the jury before yesterday's court session. But the silver-haired reputed mob figure was clearly at the center of the 18-minute making ceremony tape.

"This is a thing of honor," he said to the five proposed members who had gathered in the Bronx on that Sunday morning in July. "This is not a thing of business. A lot of people misunderstand that. This is honor."

"The family is supposed to come first," Martirano said at another point. It's as simple as that."

"And before everybody else," Piccolo said.

"Before everybody," Martirano continued. "Your own family. Your own . . . it's not nice to say but your own mother, father, sister, brother . . ."

Larry Boy?

Where is Larry Boy in this episode?—Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.170.101.185 (talk • contribs)

Nowhere. Tony Darrow is not in the closing credits. On the show Larry is still incarcerated. I removed him from guest appearances. --Ted87 (talk) 03:05, 16 August 2008 (UTC)
