I read in one of the articles, can't remember which, that Chase originally planned to have Any Way You Want It be the song, but felt that it would telegraph the open-ended nature of the ending. So they shot the insert of the jukebox with both songs and tried them both in editing before settling on Don't Stop Believing.Finless said:
Bada Bing.
Tony is not listening to Journey while he waits for his familly.Finless said:
The connection to the word Kennedy is supposed to imply he's dead because of JFK?That's a pretty massive reach.
What insight! Hadn't heard that before.
Fix Up Lampwise.
The Heidi thing is interesting though.
Agreed. As for Kennedy, I took that more as a reference to Chappaquiddick with regards to the wreck.
Good Lord, man... anything to stir the pot, eh? I'm not comparing their looks, but clearly Sigler has better taste in football players. Bundchen and Butt-chin do make a lovely and alliterative couple - kind of like Beavis and Butthead.Yeah, she kicks Gisele's ###....Plus, she's screwing Ben Roethlisberger. Obviously has good taste in football players too.You are incorrect.........Sigler has NO FLAWS!!i never watched an episode..........for the most part, what i've heard from people smarter than me is that the 1st 2 seasons were gold, then the show was all hype and generally stunk. my impression was that sigler is a terrible parker and should've looked for a municipal lot.
"Tomato Sauce For Your ###"
Except that in the interview Chase gave the Newark paper, he said that he had wanted Don't Stop all along and had to convince the other members of the production team that it would work.
It was a perfect song for the moment of the wreck - it makes no sense to consider it for the end of the series .It's been referenced a couple of times this season. Tony was singing it one morning when he came down the stairs and it was playing when the wreck occurred.Comfortably Numb is about cocaine - why would do you think that would have been appropriate at that time?Before I saw any of the names, I was convinced he was going to play "Comfortably Numb."Thanks man

How old are you?
"Taste the Brylcreem"
Tony definitely had a thing for JFK. History though as well.It was just odd how they went out of their way to mention each other's name in the car. Nothing will come out of it, but it was nice foreshadowing I guess.
Well, technically Lost isn't over. 
No, but Vince Foster's life is.
And the Clintons live on. There's no justice in the world.(edit to add: THAT won't be over until the Clintons are in jail)No, but Vince Foster's life is.
Um ... okay. I never said that would have been what I would have chosen. That said, I wouldn't have thought to choose a Journey song, either. But, I'm sure you would have. There was a reoccurring theme in the final season that I thought he might go back to. That's it. Still, you're taking the lyrics and back story of that song far too literally. I didn't see anyone taking "the midnight train going anywhere" in that final scene. How could he use that song!?It was a perfect song for the moment of the wreck - it makes no sense to consider it for the end of the series . :XIt's been referenced a couple of times this season.

C'mon, all the micks named their kids that after JFK got shot . . .
Also don't forget that when Junior is told that Bobby was shot he says "Ambassor Hotel" or something - referring to RFK's assassination.-QG
Every time Tony turned on a radio it was tuned to a classic rock station, the kind of station that would play Don't Stop Believin.
Don't bother. Pat Patriot believes whatever the news is in his own little world and no amount of evidence to the contrary will get him to change his mind. He's a lot like BGP that way, which is why I get under their skin so badly, I guess.
It is widely accepted that the music you listened to in High School influences a persons musical tastes throughout life. Journey is easy for anyone to dismiss who is not between about 40 and 48. Between 1978 and 1983 Journey was one of the most commercially successful bands on the planet. Tony Soprano would have been 18 when they really started "poppin'". I am not sure that I would have chosen a Journey song in that diner, but likely I would have chosen something from that era if it were available - give me The Logical Song, or Goodbye Stranger on a jukebox anytime!Um ... okay.

I thought he was just out of his mind. I guess he was, but he was at least correlating the two events.
I was being sarcastic. Who knows why he (Tony) chose it. He's a fictional character. He would have been about 20 when "Comfortably Numb" came out, which would have been right in his wheelhouse, too. He sang it this season, for Christ's sake. That wasn't really my point, though. Chase chose the song for the mood and it fit pretty well, but put a hundred other songs in there and they could have fit the tone he wanted also. Before Tony chose the song, I thought back to the fact that "Numb" had been used several other times and I thought Chase might take things full circle. I also had no idea where the scene was going. Seeing how it ended, it wouldn't have been appropriate, but before we knew where it was going, it wasn't that insane.It is widely accepted that the music you listened to in High School influences a persons musical tastes throughout life.

But Numb is somewhat of a "downer" song and this was an "up" moment.I was being sarcastic. Who knows why he (Tony) chose it. He's a fictional character.

We didn't know that at the time. Nevermind.

Sorry - I misunderstood previously.
"It's got wires that vibrate and make ..."(jump cut to black)2112 would have been perfect for this scene.
Why would they be different? There wasn't an alternate ending for people who acted on the show.
I love this place. You really think he wrote the ending based on what Steve Perry wants?
I was a teenager when Journey Escape came out and bands like REO Speedwagon were huge. They just werent wildly popular with italians or the "tough" crowd. We were more into Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath and AC/DC among others. I dont hear Journey on too many classic rock stations. Journey is more POP and easy listening. I just dont see Tony growing up a Journey fan. Not macho enough for him.
Nobody knows what happened. That's the point.
ok
