Early Clue This Season To Tonight's Sopranos' Conclusion

Fellow Sopranophiles:

To help figure out the ending tonight, when the sound went dead, remember :

In the first episode this season, Bobby tells Tony out on the boat in a moment of wise-guy speculating:

"You probably don't even hear it when it happens."

The sound also went dead in a later episode when a man is assassinated in a restaurant, witnessed by Sil.

Gotta figure that was true for Tony, too, and maybe - - more speculating - - for Tony's family, too.

Or not, but I've convinced myself.

OK. Enough. Back to politics and the environment tomorrow.
