    I had dinner at one of Chazz's restaurants. He happened to be there, and I approached him, he said he would come over in a little while and say hello. My group felt like he brushed us off. He DIDN'T, true to his word he came over and took pictures. He was very generous with his time and couldn't have been nicer to our guests. (Side note: the food was outstanding.)

    Chazz isn't BSing when he said that he always acknowledges the "little guy". I watched him address the crowd at a feast in his old neighborhood, Arthur Avenue in the Bronx, back in the mid 2000s. He walked off of the stage and was walking in my direction. When he got close he looked over at me and walked over to me and said "How are ya?" "Good ta see you." and shook my hand! I was very surprised, because I was just standing there, not waving or anything! And I thought, Man, what a nice guy!

      Apparently, Lillo is doing some acting gigs now, and he is young enough to come back from his mistakes, but if he wants his friends back, he has to learn to be truly humble, and to earn back that respect by not saying things like his friend "threw him under the bus." He did not. Chazz is disappointed, like you said, and hurt because both De Niro and Chazz both tried to help him. I am not so sure Lillo is being fully honest, even now, because if those guys were to start backing him again, it is good for his career. So I wonder about ulterior motives.

    Hi Mr. Franzese, would just like to say how much I enjoy your channel. Absolutely outstanding chats and stories, told with complete information and not just a bias point of view of situations and events.
    ‘A Bronx Tale’ great movie and acting from Mr. Palminteri. A nod has to be given for the Soundtrack- exceptional.
    All the best for the future.

      ​@@juniorsanchez7441Feel like initially drug use is a choice until that 1 drug of choice becomes a full blown addiction and at that point it's a disease with almost no control or choice involved. But, people do beat addiction, so, I think best way to characterize it is that it's a serious mental disease that nonetheless is curable. I struggle with addiction, stop, relapse, rinse, repeat. It confounds me that I do this to myself.

      @Allan Ros I feel bad for him as well and he deserves forgiveness. But he had a personal/business meeting with Chazz while he was all drugged up *and* Chazz had bumped into him a few times before the murder and told him to straighten up. Sounds like Chazz is just saying Lilo burnt their bridge and he's done with him while still wishing him well.
