You can't always get the tattoo you want

I'm an addicted Sopranos fan. I have to be. The real Sopranos' house is four blocks from mine, and the location scouts always pick places I'm familiar with - right up to the Johnnycakes that were served across the street from my last agency. And of course, 78 episodes later, I still feel secure I'll find great writing and acting.

I am one to look for editing details, but I'm not one to stare at women's breasts. In the case of Janice Soprano, you can't help but notice them. What I noticed last night during the long awaited season premier, is Janice's boob appeared to be... not quite the same as the previous seasons.

It's that Rolling Stones tattoo we all love her for. It used to be a REAL Mick Jagger tongue sticking straight down her cleavage, in perfect logo form. Now it looks like a first-timer laid down her ink and made that tongue slightly narrower and the upper lip less full.

Yes, she shows us her breasts long enough to pick this up. All the people watching it with me agreed as I pointed it out. Could it be that the Rolling Stones demanded payment for the rights to use it? Could HBO have demanded money for product placement?

I wouldn't be surprised. The alcoholic fans watching with me pointed out something I've never noticed. All previous outdoor Soprano gatherings have included only Budweiser beer. Take note in a boat scene with Bobby and Tony - Bobby wishes his wife was as hot as his Heineken.
