I am a nice dream

 

The final episode of The Sopranos is titled, "Made In America."

Made in America

is an anagram

for

I am a nice dream.

(from online Dictionary) - anagram:

Why do we need to know this?

I don't know.

I have neither an answer nor an anagram.

How did I learn about the Sopranos "Made in America" one?  From a podcast called "Talking Sopranos."  (The Internet says we can view this podcast on Max or on Hulu, but I have been listening to it on You Tube.)

It's hosted by Michael Imperioli (who played Christopher Moltisanti on the show) and Steve Schirripa (Bobby Baccalieri).  I think they started the podcast during the initial covid lockdown.

They have people on and interview them - actors from the show, and also David Chase, the show's creator, and Martin Bruestle, a native of Bemidji, Minnesota, who was in charge of music on The Sopranos.

        The music in that show is perfect in every instance, imo.  Every song is exactly what I would have chosen.

When Mr. Imperioli and Mr. Schirripa don't have a guest on, they will have a Sopranos script and go through it.  I don't know if they started with the script for the pilot and then trawled through every script in the six seasons, or if they just did some of them.

They interviewed an actor named David Proval, who portrayed Richie Aprile - a very sinister character!  He has this death stare - when Tony tells him he may not sell cocaine along his garbage route because it would attract the feds, Richie looks at him with that stare, not saying a word, and Tony blurts out, "Don't gimme the Manson lamps!"

Listening to his Talking Sopranos conversation was interesting - he learned about acting when he was a little child - his grandmother would take him to the Yiddish Theater.
