Binky Philips: My Moment With Tony Soprano (TV Squad)
Two years ago, I posted the story below…
It is rare that I ever feel any kind of real emotion at the passing of a

building at 51 years old. I have not watched a single series since the end of
_The Sopranos_. It was too much. My brain would be getting itchy by 4pm on
