Anyone know the story behind the final phrase Mark says in "Burnin' Bridges":

(Lighter flickers)
"Go ahead, light it up, pal."

With the song being about VV, this has to be a VV reference, no?

Hmm, I never thought about that before. I'll have a listen and have a think about it.

Maybe "go ahead, light it up" like, go ahead and keep burning those bridges Cusano?

Of course VV would be the "pal" referenced.

VV definitely took the advice...

And 24 years after the song's release, it still holds true.

It is exact. You can really appreciate the lyrics if you have worked with him

Vinnie can always find supplies of matches and accelerant to burn his next bridge.
