So I watched the first episode — and before I tell you what I think of the show, let me tell you something straight. I knew the Westies. I did business with some of them. Jimmy Coonan did time with my father and I met him many times in the visiting room. He was a stand-up guy. Wild — but stand-up.The show gets the atmosphere right. The violence is brutal, and it should be, because that’s how it was. The acting is the strongest part. But there’s a myth I want to kill: the Gambinos weren’t scared of the Westies. We could have wiped them out. The Westies worked for us. And I’ll tell you what I believe really happened to Mickey Spillane, how the Javits Center put real money on the table, and why there was never an Irish Commission — the same reason I gave you last week.And one more thing. About ten years ago, a man who did time with Jimmy Coonan came to me before he died, with a message from Jimmy about a major case that’s never been solved. I put him on tape. I’ve sat on it for a decade. I might finally tell that story.If you watched The Westies — did they get the Irish-Italian relationship right? What did they miss? Text me. And if there’s a show you want me to review next, tell me.#TheWesties #IrishMob #Mafia #MichaelFranzese #ReviewBackbone Media GroupLearn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
