/That's what you were supposed to do: graduate from college, get a creative job paying the big bucks in New York City, save up some money to get married and move to the country, raise a family, retire early and meditate at Esalen in Big Sur, then write your memoirs at your lake house, living the American Dream, when your book becomes a best-seller./
Quoting "TurquoiseBee [email protected] [FairfieldLife]" <[email protected]>:
You'll have to forgive me, but as a veteran of the early Acid Trips and Love-Ins and the Fillmore and the Avalon and as someone who by 1970 had left the drug culture that many of the Mad Men characters are just discovering behind, I don't really see this series as *in any way* "capturing the times." These characters weren't in the game at all -- they were off on the sidelines as the real action played out elsewhere...
/Instead, you became a psychedelic hippie, dropped out of college and joined a religious sect in California. So, you became a celibate preacher for over two decades, working at menial jobs and donating half of your earnings to your leader. When you got kicked out, having spent almost half of half of your adult life in cults, you went over to live in Amsterdam in a room in a boarding house, living off of U.S. Social Security and tweeting to a chat room and posting cartoon you cribbed off the internet. But, you're the guy that is enlightened? Go figure./

Don Draper sits a pretty decent half lotus in the closing shot of reciting OM and finding his inner self...the series definitely captured the times! What a hoot!
