TBH, I first thought the same, that he was selfish and a coward. But then what if he did what he did because he thought it would be the best for everyone if he wasnât around? The man was depressed after all. Such people tend to blame themselves for a lot of wrong that happens around them and so maybe he felt he was doing his kids a favour.
âPeople who say that suicide is selfish always reference the survivors. Itâs selfish to leave children, spouses and other family members behind, so they say. Theyâre not thinking about the survivors, or so they would have us believe. What they donât know is that those very loved ones are the reason many people hang on for just one more day. They do think about the survivors, probably up until the very last moment in many cases. But the soul-crushing depression that envelops them leaves them feeling like there is no alternative. Like the only way to get out is to opt out. And that is a devastating thought to endure.
Until youâve stared down that level of depression, until youâve lost your soul to a sea of emptiness and darkness⌠you donât get to make those judgments. You might not understand it, and you are certainly entitled to your own feelings, but making those judgments and spreading that kind of negativity wonât help the next person. In fact, it will only hurt othersâ.

We get it already, you donât like his music.
Youâre in here behaving like a 13 year old who is really trying to be edgy, and it is unbecoming of someone of your intelligence.
Go and masturbate to a Kanye record and save us all the pain of reading your tripe in here.
Itâs funny to see abou double down on his weird, outlandish opinions when he gets called out on them. The level of mental gymnastics taking place are really quite impressive haha
Hereâs some studies for you @AbouCuellar. Regarding musicians and their intellect. Tip: stop painting yourself into a corner any further.

Yes yes, thatâs all fine, I agree, but I didnât judge him, or call him selfish.
I also didnât call all musicians stupid, lol. Just this one.
Correct me if im wrong, but I fear trying to calm an already juvenile conversation with the words âgo and wank to a Kanye recordâ isnât going to get the desired effect.
Depends very much on what my intentions were
If you canât beat em, join em?
RIP
Loved him in The Sopranos, always disappointed me that he died so early in the show.
I did really enjoy him returning as Finnâs dad alongside Annette Benning in Tonyâs dream lol
Plus Home Alone is still one of my favourite films
The fuck, I never had made that connection before for some reason, that he was the crooked cop and then showed up as Finnâs father tooâŚDid they give him different make up or something to look different? Why did I not make that connection?
I suspect the make up or whatever was more when he was the alcoholic cop, his appearance in the dream sequence was probably his more normal, clean cut appearance.
Think it was only on my second watch through I clocked it was the same guy and it blew my.mind a bit lol
Yeah, my mind is definitely blown. Was that a connection we were supposed to make? As in were we supposed to realise that Tony was regurgitating him in his dreams? Or were they just kinda re-using actors in a weird way (I noticed I think that the gay fat mobsterâŚforget his name, shows up in the first season as like a random extra before he becomes who he is).
Vito Spatafore. Yeah he popped up in the scene where Christopher shoots the shop boy in the foot, a scene I also love because it echoes Christopher playing Spider in Goodfellas getting shot in the foot when he is serving Joe Pesci drinks.
I think John Heardâs appearance in the dream sequence is meant to be intentional (unlike Vitoâs), like you say, Tony regurgitating memories from his past.
You sir, are on top of your Sopranos trivia.
Haha I am a bit, when I really love something Iâll rewatch it over and over. On my fourth or fifth watch through of The Sopranos lol, as my gf hasnât watched it before.
