Pretty good episode, Burt Young's performance was pretty compelling as Bobby Sr., wanting desperately to have some meaning in his life and not caring whether or not he dies trying.

Though I have to say I never liked the subplot with Tony being racist, I think Chase hammered it in a bit too much this season and it quickly got very tiresome.

Rewatching the whole series, and this show stands out for its incredible acting from everyone in the show. Beginning to finish. A good example of the Sopranos universe is encapsulated in this show, similar to the episode "college". Amazing acting from edie falco, whose performances often go unnoticed because she's so good she convinces you she IS Carmela. I think Chase taking on the Italian cultural stigmata of Race in this context is super poignant and his subtextual commentary is pure genius. Artie Buco scenes are classic too.
