The Sopranos was created by a guy named Frank Renzulli from East Boston, Massachusetts, my home town also, when Frankie said he was going to Hollywood we all thought he was crazy, guess he wasn't, the mob family he wrote about was taken from East Boston, Maverick Square to be exact, the local wiseguy there was Joe "JR" Russo, Joe stood as my confirmation Godfather in 195something, Boston has always been known as the gang that couldn't shoot straight
