American 50's/early 60's were so Swish dontcha think? feck it, you could smoke when you were pregnant and no one would give a good god damn (doesn't mean it's a smart thing btw), everyone drove round in their stylish Corvettes and Bobby D was radio play for the masses whilst the rat pack filled out the concert halls of New York. The films of the period remind us that everyone spoke with a nice "Good golly!" when shocked, a stark contrast to the "Sh*t C*ck Wallop" you hear today. Sure in the background McCarthy was going commie on all Hollywood/Government's arses and Racism was an accepted Norm but Nothing is perfect.
I've probably just fallen in love with this crazy romanticised version portrayed in Mad Men of skinny suits and a glass of whiskey, yet it still seems a far better reality than the current climate of Terrorism, Broken Families, Political Correctness and health and bloody safety. A fake plastic veil seems to cover the face of today's society, a tarnished and scratched one that wont decompose for the next 500 years, Dang your environmental impact Plastic!
I dunno i could make a list to the four corners of the world of the pro's and con's of Today Vs. Then. Buttt y'know we've both got places to be, people to see.
Goodbye Blog, i need to go buy a skinny suit. xxx
