you just made me laugh. I love when people think the band came up with the name. Of course, people got clued in after "Donnie Brasco". Was there ever a movie who gave so much insight into mob-lingo? I remember working at a radio station part time and chopping up quotes for the air staff to use. They ran with those for years.

It's up there with Goodfellas for spreading the lingo around to the masses outside of the mob cities. -- nm - Krusty Apr 5, 06:39 2
- Agreed. But DB almost seemed to take pleasure in revealing the lingo. - Mel Profit Apr 5, 06:42 1
  - No doubt. I despised what they did but damn were they interesting characters/people. -- nm - Krusty Apr 5, 06:45
