Monday night
Frank Sinatra was being interviewed in New Jersey by Mike Wallace. Wallace said, "Why do you still live in Hoboken?" Sinatra replied that that's where his mom was from. He said, "Besides, this is where she introduced me to my first wife." Sinatra went on to say that his mom's death had been caused by a trucking company, and he was going to make them pay for it...

Sinatra is frequently referenced in "The Sopranos," which may account for his showing up in this dream. We have a couple of collections of his recordings for Capitol Records in the 1950s, and they are terrific.
Sinatra did grow up in Hoboken, New Jersey, but, as far as I know, the rest of this dream is bogus. His mother was not originally from Hoboken; both of his parents came over from Italy at the end of the 19th century.

I just read a brief interview with Don Rickles on CNN.com about Sinatra coming to see him - helped Rickles cement his schtick. Frank walks into the room, Rickles says: "Frank, make yourself at home. Punch somebody."
