Have been cramming to prepare for the return of "Mad Men" next week -- and what an unexpected pleasure it's been. I've always been a fan of the show, but Season 6 has really affected me like no other. When I fell behind last year, I was good about not reading about what was going. Now I can't help but wonder if others were feeling the same way as I am now -- gasping at each plot turn, mesmerized by "living" the assassinations of Dr. Martin Lurther King Jr. and Bobby Kennedy, and unsettled by the unraveling of Don Draper. And as if the show weren't good enough, the music from Season 6 has been giving me goosebumps -- with well-timed use of songs like "Dream A Little Dream Of Me" by Ozzie Nelson, "Friends I Haven't Met Yet" by Blue Sandlewood Soap, "Bonnie & Clyde" by Serge Gainsbourg & Brigitte Bardot, "Baby Jane (Mo Mo Jane)" by Mitch Ryder & The Detroit Wheels, "Reach Out Of The Darkness" by Friend and Lover, "Harper Valley PTA" Jeannie C. Riley and "Piece Of My Heart" by Janis Joplin.
