Many years ago, I was sitting in a cinema watching the film "Prizzi's Honor," John Houston's darkly charming mob romance. At some point in the story, the old Sicilian mafia boss played by the great William Hickey, erupts with anger on hearing that one of his underlings is hiding out under the alias "Finley": "Finley? Finley?" he shouts with incredulity. "What kind of a name is 'Finley'!?!?" It was as though someone had flung a spit-wad in my face. My date sitting beside me melted into laughter.So imagine my delight when I recently found out that an Italian pop group is my namesake? (Or rather NBA star Michael Finley's namesake, but no matter...) However, I admit I'm more interested in buying one of their T-shirts than one of their CDs.
Read about them here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finley_(band).
