Ford Commercials

I haven't seen (or heard) the commercials in question, but you are not disparaging Jimmy Hendrix are you?

:-)

Pssstt... that's "Jimi" Hendrix.... the 60s and 70s were a fantastic place to live.... leaded gas, 15 cent a glass beer, casual sex without galoshes and cars with multiple carbs sitting on showroom floors (well, in the 60s, anyway).

Any commercial featuring music from my youth is a welcome commercial...

Maybe that's what happened to me too. I couldn't see the commercial through the Purple Haze.

the 70's were great.

Hell no, I grew up with him (his music) I jes can't take hearing it 15-20 times a day.

My TV comes with an optional channel changer, so I'm not stuck watching only one broadcast. I even have this thing called a "remote", so I don't even have to get up off the La-Z-Boy. Works well for me. You could probably pick one up at the local Radio Shack.

I also have a thing called a remote, but even so I still have to listen to the first few notes before I hit the button.(to lazy to hit button) point is enough is enough.I have pic in pic so I can go btween the 2, What self respecting football fan would do without that feature if he could avoid it.

We have a similar rule in our house. Whoever has the remote has to switch channels within 1.5 seconds of seeing CarrotTop, or they have to give up the remote.

Bitter?? No... perhaps a little too candid for some... but not bitter.

I won't admit in public what it was that I ate, put putting drops of food coloring on ice cubes and watching them melt kept my friends and I occupied for the better part of day about three decades ago.

Lost youth? Nah, I know exactly where I left it. Problem is Peabody won't let me use the way-back machine. Even if I had it to do all over again, I doubt that I would. Happy enough in the here & now.

I remember the race in the movie American Graffitti coming right off the screen and then into the audience. Followed by a a stroll through a park that had velvet petunias and maple trees with red white and blue leaves.

Wouldn't you just love to grab that guy, shave his head and glue his mouth shut?

Why do you hate America. :-)

BTW, Jimi Hendrix played The Star Spangled Banner (at Woodstock). I've never heard his rendition of America the Beautiful, but I don't watch much TV.
