It was a nice leisurely walk down memory lane.
I enjoyed the cigarette commercials, including the ‘dancing’ pack of Dorals. I recall the Tarryton ad campaign saying
‘I’d rather fight than quit!” the camera pans to the smoker, showing black greasepaint smeared around his right eye, imitation of getting a shiner or a Black Eye. That ad would never run today for several reasons. Most of the ads back then had a sense of fun.
Wow. That was bittersweet.
I was a fourteen year old kid in September 1970, just started 8th. grade.
Man. I’d forgotten how things were back then.
That America has vanished.
Gone. Gone for good.
