The Real Joe Pesci ...
There
are of course 1.7 trillion factoid videos available on You Tube.
I culled this one from the herd because "The Real
Reason We Don't Hear About Joe Pesci Anymore" surprised me. And, it's fluffy.
Pesci has long had a close relationship with Tommy DeVito, one of the original members of the Four Seasons, which also included Frankie Valli. DeVito had to leave the band in the early 1970s and went to Las Vegas. Pesci stayed with him a while (Pesci hadn't become known yet), and when Pesci was able to, he got DeVito roles in some of his films. Later, he hired DeVito as a personal assistant for a few years.
So weird I watched this at youtube before seeing it here? Cut the direct tv cord and youtube has endless watchables. The most interesting to me was Pesci being replaced by a better guitarist - Jimi Hendrix! I guess so dude!
I adore Pesci.

ReplyDeleteI'm a big fan.
ReplyDeleteSo much so, that I created a special award using him.
I've seen "My Cousin Vinny" about twenty times.
For at least the fifth time, I watch "My Cousin Vinnie" running this week on HBO.
