every possible ending

the Soprano's Finale was indeed a masterpiece.

but maybe i'm the only one who thinks so because of my
"creative genius" pre-show "essay":

i just watched the it again
as it repeated on HBO tonight.

and i had a good laugh.

as many who also watched that masterpiece know,
the song playing at the end (by a cheesy band called
"Journey") was "Don't Stop Believing".

and the last lyrics heard were:

"Don't stop..."

at which point it abruptly ends midsong
as the silent blank screen popped up
for several seconds before the credits rolled
with no relevant closing song playing.

the songless ending was contrary to every
other episode besides this one, the 86th
(the episode which eighty-sixed the series).

but that's not why i laughed.

i already knew all of that from
the first time i watched it.

what DID make me laugh wasn't the song that
Tony chose to play on the tabletop jukebox
before everyone else arrived at the diner.

"Don't Stop Believing" by Journey.

it was the "B" side of that song
(which showed on the jukebox titlecard
as Tony scanned the selections)

"Anyway You Want It."

hilarious!

and brilliant.

do i have my finger on the pulse of "creative genius" or what?
