\u00a0THIRD ANNUAL MOB SUMMER BASH<\/a><\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

at Keegans<\/a>, tomorrow night!<\/p>\n

Boilerplate:\u00a0 The Minnesota Organization of Bloggers is a non-partisan group of bloggers who exist, mainly, to further blogging in Minnesota.\u00a0 As such, we invite all <\/em>bloggers, and for that matter all non-bloggers<\/em>, to come on down!<\/p>\n

Now, yesterday Jeff Kouba from TvM wrote in my comment section<\/a>:<\/p>\n

It being the MOB at all, there should be a rule that we can only play \u201cDon\u2019t Stop Believin\u2019\u201d on the jukebox\u2026<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Of course, Journey’s 1981 classic – which had a couple of years’ association with the TV show Scrubs – <\/em>will now forever more be linked to The Sopranos<\/em>, because of its prominence in the final epi.\u00a0 So naturally, a good MOB party should play it prominently.<\/p>\n

But there are other good Mob – if not MOB – related songs to choose from:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. The Night Chicago Died, <\/em>Paper Lace (naturally, the referenced “East Side of Chicago” exists on the same plane as, well, the Jukebox at Keegans).\u00a0<\/em><\/li>\n
  2. Meeting Across The River, <\/em>Springsteen – maybe the best song ever about small-time hoods.<\/li>\n
  3. Dance With Me, <\/em>the Iron City Houserockers – great song about a small-time hood and his girl out for a night on the town.<\/li>\n
  4. Princess of Little Italy, <\/em>Little Steven and the Disciples of Soul – and I’d suggest it even if “Little Steven” Van Zandt didn’t also wind up playing Silvio Dante for the show’s whole run…<\/li>\n
  5. Big Man In Town, <\/em>the Four Seasons – it just sounds right.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    OK, what the heck, your turn…<\/p>\n
