the mushrooms - they're on fire

sopranos

season one episode one and two

make no mistake

-

a true work of art

immediate pop culture classic

the symbolism
the story
the powerful imagery
the dialogue

the music

shadows and darkness
the bridging between then and now
electric

with relevance

charm

and believability

the belly button dream – when tony’s penis falls off
he’s running around looking for the guy who used to fix his car
to put his penis back on
and a bird swoops down
steals it
and then
after a very patient pause
the psychiatrist asks

“what kind of bird”

god damn man that's funny stuff

I stopped watching sopranos after awhile
like season two or three sometime
it was a passive act – I didn’t miss it really

a moral repulsion to all the violence and illegal activity I guess
my timid disposition grew weary

but tonight
trapped in a helpless world of sleeplessness

again

A&E is pimping season one episode one
and i’m hooked all over

big pussy little pussy
here comes the prozac
the language of violence
the spirit of honor
the power of “our thing” over individuality

a story about the times when wrong is right...under the circumstances

brilliant thank you very much
