/\  remember reading Lennon said that about Elvis, it was true except he did make good records when he returned including Little Sister, one of his best ... he just got too locked into the movies to take music seriously

re JFK, he was red-blooded, only human .... but he did look good on the beach and on his boat and playing football .... he symbolizes something good to many ...

realpolitik rips everything that exists, just fight fire with fire

Oh I do miss the world of slide film, I tried to go back to it last summer, but the digital image capturing genie is out of the bottle now for better and worse.

Hahahaha.  She really wrecks the whole show.  And it's a circus after all.  That says a lot.  It's insufferable.

Overlook the blanks... 
I did not get to the end of 'Mad Men' nor did I ever consider watching any of it a second time (much as with 'The Sopranos', a programme I found myself hating the more it went on). 
Jimbo's comments at the beginning remain highly interesting. 
I happen to be something of a fan of Buckley, though, and (to a lesser extent) of Kerouac, but I understand why the hippy mentality developed.  Then P.J. O'Rourke pissed elegantly all over the trippy-Dylan-flower children stuff in a most attractive way.  Still love 'White Rabbit', though, and the cheeky look of Grace Slick.
