(A) WTF is "Ferragosto"? I'm from NYC and I've never heard of it.

(B) Springsteen is part Italian? News to me.

(C) No Dean Martin? For shame.

ETA: turns out it's actually tomorrow (Aug 15th) but I guess that would've bumped "Top Ten Tuesday". Aug 15th is also the Feast of the Assumption, for you Catholics.
