I didn't find much here other than they took all the green out of O Brother.

Was this funded by big tobacco?
Seriously that much smoking in a show for tweens is the real horror here.
All the adults are sucking cigs through the entire series.
Have a sit down with your kids before you let them watch it.
Talk to them about product placement, Eggo, etc., and reenforce how horrible smoking is.

Considering that show was aimed at 10-14 year olds why all that smoking?
It wasn't the 1960s.
Down right insidious to put that much tobacco use in a show for adolescents.
Otherwise it was great to see Winona being amazing again.

After the TV show they lived as a nostalgia band. Nesmith had a few minor moments but ultimately went back to the State Fair circuit with The Monkees.
So thanks for making my point. The only way you can take The Monkees seriously is to completely ignore the dominate force in American Music in the 1960s… African…

Hardly.
Hits from the 60s such as "I'm a Believer" and "Last Train to Clarksville" were routinely played on Top 40 stations in the 70s. Motown, the Beatles, Elvis from the 50s and 60s, and Chuck Berry and Little Richard would find their way on air.
"You imagine a possible salvation from integrating the band."
I had a…

The greatest being the Otis Redding version.
I can hear it now.
Otis Who?
This has got to be the single whitest web page on earth.

The plug in your arse can come out now.

It helps if you understand they are closer to Weird Al than The Stones.

Time for everyone here shitting on Beatty to go watch "Bullworth."

Wow I haven't met anyone that gives THAT much of a shit about this cartoon.

But getting back to the creativity part.
Without all that 60s chaos the obscene war, assassinations, violent protests and more, the creative output would not have been as great. Chaos is good for art generally speaking. The writer's point that it is not conducive to creativity just doesn't hold up.

No doubt.
But the music and movies were amazing.
When we Boomers are dead and buried the epitaph will not read well except for the music, a couple of movies and personal computers.

It will have about as much impact over here as the chaos in FIFA.

"Like the rest of us, they’re watching this whole thing play out with a mixture of confusion and vague terror that’s not especially conducive to creativity."

It must be because it's not in color.

Here's what I know. If you actually submitted something it probably was intercepted by one of his writers who massaged it and teed it up for BS. In other words BS has no idea you sent him anything. And more importantly doesn't want to know to protect himself legally. But hey, keep giving your shit away. It's a great…

YOU sent it.
Why should he credit you?
Didn't you want him to HAVE IT?
Did it come with an invoice?
Given that your story is even true I don't understand what your beef is.

Scorsese's pilot still stands as one of the best TV movies ever made.

I didn't like Lucy much until I got a lot older. The whole beautiful woman doing slapstick comedy thing was groundbreaking. Then of course there's her hands on producing and green lighting of Star Trek, The Untouchables, Mission Impossible and Andy Griffith. She was a bona fide genius.

I thought it was a young Mimi Rogers.
