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?

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.

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