I like to think I'm Silvio (played by Stevie Van Zandt). Anyone who can play guitar for Springsteen and help run a successful strip club/mob joint deserves a statue in his honor.

Everyone should check out Everything Bad Is Good for You: How Today's Popular Culture Is Actually Making Us Smarter by Steven Johnson. It's a great book on how popular culture is actually training our brains and what not. He has a whole section about the Sopranos and comparing the 17 plot-lines per show to the 2 plot-lines you would find in an episode of M.A.S.H.

Hmm, now to get The Sopranos into classrooms...

The Sopranos is a favourite of mine, but I haven't watched it in a while. Shawnee- have you any idea what series that quote came from? I love Paulie and am laughing out loud at work- I'm sure people think I'm nuts....

I don't think I'm actually like anyone in the show- but I would LOVE to be Tony.

That excerpt is from the episode Pine Barrens from season 3.
