They can, as does Holden Caulfield, the protagonist of Catcher in the Rye, decry the “phoniness” of it all.

I'm not saying we should go back to the 50's...butI find it interesting that more than one psycho like Mark "I killed John Lennon" Chapman think of themselves as Holden Caufield figures. It's as if the hatred of the "normal" and the belief that it's all a charade betrays a certain sickness...

Oddly, it’s the Sandra Dee’s that create room for the Hunter Thompson’s, an underappreciated bit of irony lost on the critics.

Touche.

I continue to fail to understand the appeal of Hunter S. Thompson and his narcissistic obsessions. To me, he's just another dead leftist druggie who spent the majority of his life trying to convince the American public that we are the worst people in the world.

Bless Sandra Dee. She was a survivor. Sometimes it's alot harder to live than to die.

I didn't know Sandra Dee died. What a shame! I enjoyed her Moondoggie movie with James Darren and Cliff Robertson about young unrequited love, Summer Place with Troy Donahue about premarital sex and pregnancy, Tammy movies about southern honesty and hospitality. Now that saddens me. Who the heck is Hunter Thompson anyway? Never heard of him.

Whatever her personal problems, Dee contributed beauty to the culture. Credible, genuine memories.

By contract, Hunter contributed ashes; just ashes.

Serve the Lucifer and get a devil's reward.

Don't know if you will see it anywhere else, but Hot August Nights in Reno IS the 1950's. You'll see more poodle skirts and 'cuffed' jeans than just about anywhere in the country. Hot rods, cruisin' and Golden Oldies bring back a more simple era.

Small towns and 'good clean fun' are almost ancient history. I'm still tryin' to live the simple life. When the traffic gets to congested and people don't care if they run over you, it's time for me to move on.
