Bodie (JD Williams) in The Wire's Season Four finale
Tapping the 'Wire'Mixtape Confessions[17 January 2007] by Ben RubensteinThe Wire's season-ending musical montage was a culmination, in many ways, of a season filled with musical meaning.
Mixtape Confessions

As one of those people who only watches television on DVD, I wasn’t sure if I wanted to make the time commitment to catch up on “The Wire”. However, if the producers have such impeccable taste as to use my favorite Dr. John song for a montage (and an important montage, at that) then I suppose I owe it to them to check out their program.
