"WHERE HAVE ALL THE FLOWERS GONE?" When i was eight years old, i could walk one mile to a movie theatre and not
worry someone would a-costing me, hurt me or be involved in a drive by shooting. it was a simple way of life and my parents didn't
take a "handful of pills" to get through the day. The only "drive by" we had was the "HELM"S BAKERY MAN", throughing cookies
at us, not 38 calibar bullets or Molitoff cocktails. The only coctails I remember were "Prune Juice Cocktails" which resulted in running
a mile in 3seconds to get to the bathroom.
My parents would watch DINAH SHORE, who would sing "See The USA In your CHEVROLET". She would then throw a kiss.
When was the last time anyone sang about a car? We only hear "Come Fly With ME", by the GREEDY X-ecutives who get into
their "Lear Jets" and go to our Government and beg for "Bail Out" money. What these "poor me" guys should of done was to
"Bail Out" of their Jets, without a "Golden Parachute" That would take them to"ground zero"
People would sing about their "Merry Oldsmobile" and their girlfriend, Lucille. The only thing "Merry" today, are the men who
go through the woods in tights and feathers in their hats. that follow a guy named "Robin Hood" The only "Hood" we have today
is the "Interment" camps in South Los Angeles.
Remember the song, "It's delightful, It's delicious, It's DE SOTO?" We are a nation who were proud of our automomiles, now we seem
ashamed to buy anything made in America. Remember Milton Berle's Texaco Singing Men, who came out and sang a song, as they filled
your gas tank and wiped your windows? Today if someone did that, we would have them arrested and held 72hrs., for a Psyc. examination.
Hoppalong Cassidy would save the "school marm"(whatever that was) and put the "bad guys or varmits" into a jail, without some one
yelling about whether or not they had a right to remain silent. I remember when "Buster Brown" had a dog in his shoe and no "animal rights"
The slogan "Nobody Doesn't Like Sarah Lee" was a falsity, "Arteries" don't like Sarah Lee, nor do Cardiologists.
People would hear "Get DR. Ross Dogfood, do your self a favor" Shouldn't the favor be for your cute,little dog, not your self?
The "Mitchum Deodorant", had a man in a bed, who would say, "I didn't use Mitchum today and I may not tomorrow"
Ever notice no one was in the bed with him, when he said that" He probably stayed in bed for two days, while he watched "Law & Odor"
Ever notice that "Chichita Banana" who had a great singing and dancing career, is no longer on t.v.?
The networks probably think she is too old, to attract the proper demographics of the 18-24 audience.
Where is Roy Rogers Happy Trails today? Is it only when there are five years in the can of your t.v. series
that you can have "Happy Trails?"
I am still Marshall Bitkower, former Deputy District Attorney, Los Angeles County, former Deputy City Attorney,City of Los Angeles,
Criminal Division and X-Husband, World Wide.
junkie would pickett his house.
