    Steven does sound and look like what I would imagine a mobster. I knew he looked familiar when I saw him on there but I couldn't figure out why, I just assumed he favored someone I met while living in new orleans , if u have ever spoken to a true native of New Orleans you can hear the similarities in their accents, its like the broncs of the south. lol

    I still think Paulie had something to do with Bobby and Silvio getting killed because Phil put a hit out on the DiMeo family's top 3 guys, Tony, Silvio and Paulie, not Bobby. You never get to see Paulie go down, he was always arguing with Tony and kissing his butt, he hated Bobby, threatened Silvio and was always giving Christopher a hard time.

      He played a lot of the solos in his early days in the band, 1970s but over time Springsteen took more and more of them for himself. The same can be said of Lofgren, got handed plenty of solos on his first tour (born in the USA) but now only gets one or two opportunities to show what he can really do in a three hour show.
