It makes sense if you read his book. He talked about how many guys, after they got made were like Chris on the Sopranos. Getting dressed up, strutting around like a peacock, waiting on everyone to kiss their asses.

Franzese said that after he got made, he didnt really feel any different. He just went to work, like a regular day. He said it was basically the same after he made capo. That as far as his day to day, he was already functioning as a capo.

I think it might be a bigger deal for us guys, then someone in the life who was a capable mobster.
