Which is pretty much the point of the show. <br /><br />I was there, Charlie. Plus -- and ask any woman who's roughly the same age as Betty or Megan and you'll hear stuff that will curl your hair. <br /><br />We've come a long way, but not even close to enough.steve simelshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13247393763004076992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8921382.post-52158099787221808162012-04-03T17:55:37.704-04:002012-04-03T17:55:37.704-04:00I avoid tv or movies that "re-create" an...I avoid tv or movies that "re-create" an era. They're too embarrassing or else try too hard to prove how hip they are ala the Rice Krispies commercial (that video was a meme a year or two ago. Maybe three. Time does fly these days). <br /><br />I like to say, "Oh look, a movie about the 50's, made in the 70's!." Most things just can't escape the age in which they are created. <br /><br />Mad Men made the news (a publicity stunt?) recently by using Dusty Springfield's "Look of Love" out of time; hers hadn't even been released.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8921382.post-61828369185719301332012-04-03T17:07:16.691-04:002012-04-03T17:07:16.691-04:00I dunno -- I just can't picture Brian Jones si...I dunno -- I just can't picture Brian Jones sitting down to a huge heaping bowl of Rice Krispies.<br />:-)steve simelshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13247393763004076992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8921382.post-18755398309388481402012-04-03T16:28:49.645-04:002012-04-03T16:28:49.645-04:00That's the best commercial jingle I've eve...That's the best commercial jingle I've ever heard.petenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8921382.post-43831911160442369222012-04-03T14:44:59.441-04:002012-04-03T14:44:59.441-04:00I'll take the Trade Winds over Mad Men any day...I'll take the Trade Winds over Mad Men any day. Anders and Poncia's stuff seemed more than a little corny to me when released, but I was a jerk. "The Mind Excursion" sounds as fresh now as when it was released, and even the Innocence stuff sounds great, too.<br /><br />And that doesn't even touch on their work with Phil Spector. Or that they were terrific singers. Anders and Poncia are criminally neglected.Davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03743825684303825072noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8921382.post-41542569355942025582012-04-03T10:52:39.709-04:002012-04-03T10:52:39.709-04:00Wow, didn't know about the Stones commercial, ...Wow, didn't know about the Stones commercial, great find. Mad Men is a great show. The wife and I have been watching since the beginning, she works in advertising. Although as thorough as Mr. Weiner thinks he is, I did catch a faux pas in the fourth season Episode two Christmas Comes But Once A Year.<br /><br />It comes in at 24:28 when someone is putting on records at the Christmas party. You will notice he's putting on a record on the ERIC (reissue) label which started in 1969. Not so thorough, seeing as this is supposed to be 1964 or 65.<br /><br />Only someone who sold records for many years as I did would have noticed this. I wanted to write in but didn't have the time to wait for a maybe response.FD13NYChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14964671671960423199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8921382.post-60339388304823779242012-04-03T10:00:44.988-04:002012-04-03T10:00:44.988-04:00I believe that is Brian Jones only writing credit....I believe that is Brian Jones only writing credit.buzzbabyjesushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09375127662096374324noreply@blogger.com
