I suppose it would be like Dinero on QVC.
Little bit, little bit. Flipping through the wonderful world of channels 2-13 this weekend and saw WCBS was running half-hour informercials—at 7:00 pm. Aside from thinking CBS = desperate for ad revenue, I thought I saw Clint Eastwood in a leather jacket. But it was the Easy Rider himself, Peter Fonda. Not that I was or am a fan, but I can see how some who are might feel seeing him shill for a summer of love. Escape From L.A. was one thing, but him and Dennis Hopper gave the finger to The Man!
And now, selling the Mamas and the Papas to grandmas and grandpas for Flower Power? (Dennis may be busy standing on chairs and selling out to The Man, but at least he’s living in the now, man.) Especially cool is the part when they round up the collection to the mid-seventies for some R&B. (Or is it groovy. Which decade are we in again?) Wonder who gets to repackage the Ting Tings around 2050.
