Yah, I know the quotes. Here they are, both of Nick and Frankie

NICK ( to us)
Even after i quit the group, it still had some kind of pull over me. Over the years, if Frankie was playing Atlantic City or anyplace near Jersey, I'd hop in the car and check it out. He'd bring me up on stage, we'd do a song or two, and he'd always have the same question. "Why'd you do it Nicky? Why'd you walk away?"
(then)
Lemme clear that up. It wasn't the side deal. It wasn't touring. It wasn't the bad food or rooming with Tommy. It just came outta my mouth. An once I said it, I knew it was what I wanted. I wanted to go home. That's what I needed-more than the girls or the booze. Or even starting my own group.
(then)
All right, I'll be honest with you, it coulda been an ego thing. Everybody wants to be up front. But if there's four guys, and your Ringo...
(then)
Better I should Spend some time with my kids.

(Nick recedes into the shadows, leaving Frankie alone onstage.)


FRANKIE (to us)
I never made it to Tommy's party. I got up to the door a few times but I couldn't go in. I don't know why, maybe Nicky looked at me funny like I was acting too special or something. But Nicky, in that mind of his, who knows? And now he's gone, God rest him. He died Christmas Eve, 2000. I mean, for a Catholic, is that style or what?
(then)
They ask you, What was the high point? The Hall of Fame? Selling all those records? Pulling "Sherry" out of the hat? It was all great. But four guys under a streetlamp, when it was all still ahead of us... the first time we made that sound-our sound-when everything dropped away and all there was, was the music-that was the best.
(then)
That's why I'm still out there singing-like that bunny on TV with the battery. I just keep going and going and going.
(eyes the audience)
Chasing the music. Trying to get home.


Hope this helped you! :)

Hey everyone!!!
Went to see Les Miz yesterday,its was Daphne's last day.Such an amazing show,it was my second time and it seems the second time is so much better than the first.It was so cold! We were waiting outside to get in and there was ice falling from the Shubert Theatre(were Spamalot is)and they blocked the sidewalk off and were trying to tell people to walk across the street so they wouldn't get hit but people just walk in a daze and weren't paying attention,one guy almost got hit in the head with a huge patch of ice.Hope everyone stays warm!Its suppose to be warmer this week,thank goodness.

HI Everyone!!!!
You know how Christian Hoff did an audiobook, what did he set a record for, the most character voices in a book? Does anyone know what the book is about?

I loved them last night! At first it was weird seeing different people sing the songs,I'm so use to hearing the broadway cast but it was nice to see them.

Erin> I saw the Ugly Betty episode! It was great,until the end that was pretty sad.I loved seeing Patti LuPone as his mother.

[ragdoll4390]

Posted: 3/23/07 at 5:18pm

Patti has to come back they can't leave it like that! lol
I haven't even been watching LOST its on way too late for me and if I do stay up it gets so boring that I can't even watch it.
