[edit] Tommy's Date of Birth
There have been several edits back and forth regarding Tommy DeVito's date of birth. The conventional wisdom, culled primarily from label PR during the group's heyday, has him as being born in the mid-30's. In actuality, Tommy (currently alive and well and living in Vegas) is 77, and was born in 1928.Yorker 05:10, 5 February 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Why Tommy Left the Group
A well-meaning but over-protective fan edited out a whole couple of paragraphs on why the band broke up and Tommy left the group. While it was all hushed up at the time, eveyone has since come to terms with it, and indeed they (all of the living members) have collaborated on the new hit Broadway musical Jersey Boys, which lays it out pretty explicitly...and was written from Tommy's own (as yet unpublished) autobiography. So, I'm reverting that edit and returning the details, which are accurate, acknowledged by the participants, and in no way detract from Tommy DeVito's musicianship, nor from his deserved enshrinment in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.Yorker 05:10, 5 February 2006 (UTC)
