Sorry for the lateness as well, Happy Brithday!

I agree, he's a breath of fresh air, I guess because he's funny and has a bit of an attitude, whereas the rest of the show has taken on a more sanitized tone in recent years.

Well, very little that's complimentary anyway, heh. Sadly. :coy:

Now now, the Beatles did take LSD, but they were brilliant without it. ;)

The 60s? Here's the 60s... Tom: You can tell who's running the country by how much clothes people wear, see? Dick: Do you mean that some people can afford more clothes on, and some people have... less on? Is that what you mean? Tom: That's right. Dick: I don't understand. Tom: See, the...

Actually if we want to get really techincal, Psychedelic was more pure '60s.

True but it proves there's a certain demand for retro and nostalgia. ;)

Groovy was still used a bit in the '70s, so it's cool. ;)

WII proved sometimes there are things worth fighting for. Sad we had to learn that lesson at all, but at least it proved there was something good in humanity. ;)

If they ever did, it would be a miracle and all would be right with the world again. ;)

Sure!

The '60s thread? Gear, fab!

Yup, and about The Cocoanuts, that's true about getting the papers and maps all wet so they didn't make too much noise. Amazing though how quickly Hollywood adapted to talkies. (Btw, a 1930s thread was started if you want to discuss Marx Brothers ;) )

Well, since the other '30s thread seems to be preoccupied with the 1830s, I guess there should be one for the 1930s. Let me know if it's superfluous. ;) Well obviously the 1930s will most be remembered for the Great Depression. But what I admire most about the time is how the economic...

Yup, I love that story! (Though I'm partial to Chico, I like to hear about Zep too ;) ). Did you know that in Animal Crackers, during the first black out scene, it's actually Zeppo standing in for Groucho (who was apparently sick)? At one point when there's a bit of light in the shot, you can...

Hmm '80s, let's see... The height of catchy commercial jingles, the likes of which we'll never see again. :) "Raise your hand, on demand, if you're sure!" I also love how so much of the music and the TV shows had this atmosphere of electronics and robotics and an far out outer spacey feel...

My family was probably still in Italy at this point. We're still trying to find information from Ellis Island, which is a lot of fun! Btw, does this mean someone should start the 1930s' thread?

Ok Ok, now we all know. :) I love looking at old advertisements from the '20s, like Coca Cola, with the whole flapper image women had. They rebelled against wearing corsets and long hair styles and gave women a lot more freedom. Two '20s items I can think of is the book The Great Gatsby...

One of my favorites! ;)
