The season premiere of "Mad Men" was a 60-minute exercise in mass confusion -- who were those people???? -- but the fashions of the day were certainly a treat. The only thing I like about the show more is getting to "live through" historic moments in history. We've all read about the assassinations of JFK, Martin Luther King Jr. and Bobby Kennedy, but there is something so much more visceral about experiencing them along with people we know, even in the form of television characters we despise. Will be curious to see if Stonewall is mentioned -- I don't believe it was considered that big a deal at the time -- but you just know the Tate-LaBianca murders will happen next door to Megan. And can a visit to the Altamont Speedway Free Festival be far off?
