The Sopranos Season 6 premiered the other night to lukewarm ratings. Its long absence, about one year to be exact, is a factor. So much has happened in TV world since then... people's taste and choices have changed. These days, 5 housewives, 40+ castaways & a group of neurotic resident surgeons rule the ratings --- something which not even Tony can reckon with.
This will be their very last season and after which, the show should be "swimming with the fishes." There will only be about 10 episodes to this one before it bows.
The Sopranos' opening credits is one of my very favorites....it's just cool. So, in honor of the drama series that got me interested with the Mafia, here is The Hustler
You woke up this morning
Got yourself a gun,
Mama always said you'd be
The Chosen One.
She said: You're one in a million
You've got to burn to shine,
But you were born under a bad sign,
With a blue moon in your eyes.
You woke up this morning
All the love has gone,
Your Papa never told you
About right and wrong.
But you're looking good, baby,
I believe you're feeling fine,(shame about it),
Born under a bad sign
With a blue moon in your eyes.
You woke up this morning
The world turned upside down,
Thing's ain't been the same
Since the Blues walked into town.
But you're one in a million
You've got that shotgun shine.
Born under a bad sign,
With a blue moon in your eyes.
When you woke up this morning,
When you woke up this morning,
When you woke up this morning,
You got yourself a gun.
