MAD MEN on AMC - Seasons 7(a) & & 7(b)

Gonna go out on a limb and lock in my final guess for the last song: If it's not a crooner thing, I think it'll be some early Jackson Browne--"Rock Me On The Water" or something like that.

Nico's version of These Days? (I can't believe you guys even dragged me into this game.)

Looking back its kinda weird how much they've used country music given that the only character who would conceivably listen to it is don

I like "These Days" as a guess, although--if this matters--I strongly associate it already with The Royal Tenenbaums.

Also, it's from earlier than I remembered (1967).

fwiw I still like the I Am...I Said guess.

Something that really resonated with me yesterday: the way Don's giddy proposal to Megan was played off against Betty's sadness in vacating the old house. It seemed like such a cruel contrast.

think this is sorta reading back -- my understanding is that country and pop played a whole bunch more freely up thru probably the early 80s.

Yeah, I was gonna say...back when country was country & western, especially during the "countrypolitan" years, it was just as prevalent as anything else.

Mad Men is in the golden age of classic Nashville country

They've mixed crossover country ("Harper Valley PTA," "Sixteen Tons") with a couple of George Jones and Waylon Jennings songs I didn't know and am guessing were not Top 40 hits. Surprised they never used "Ode to Billie Joe" or--perfect--"Rose Garden."

i note that no-one's even suggested a disco record. I Feel Love maybe?

i mean, considering that a lot of folk in blog/twitter world are suggesting there's going to be a time jump.

last song might be bangarang feat. sirah

My god, I would actually love this.

"The Gambler"

The same blog world thought The Sopranos' second-to-last episode would be a flashback set in the 1960s.

I don't get the Harry hate either. He reminds me of any office flunkey. Pete is loathsome.

harry seems to have moved into full-on sexual predator territory

some other channels will direct people to Mad Men supposedly?? sounds nuts but fair do's like

it's the right thing to do

animal planet will be running "Mad Dogs": dozens of rabid puppies wearing character-specific 70's period clothing mauling one another in an oversized McCann Ericksonn diorama

Harry goes on rampage with Pete's gun

maybe we won't find out what happens with pete's gun until the pete's gun spinoff

Pete becomes The Punisher.

Prequel: "Better Call Sal"

Not These Days. Nico's The End.

They did introduce Pete's gun in the first act

Is it on now? Just so I know not to read this thread until I see it!

No, not for another half hour

Cheers mh

Speaking of which, it's Victoria Day here, so unless I wait an extra hour or two and watch the re-broadcast, I'll be accompanied by the non-stop sound of fireworks.

"...I hope that the entire series won't be judged by five minutes at the end." Uh-oh!

Yep, fireworks here near the Bramalea City Centre xpost

In the midst of some last-minute song-guessing on Facebook, I've got to quote a friend: "Whatever it is, I can guarantee you one thing: we will never again agree on anything as we agreed on Judy Collins."

That Billboard piece seems to make it clear that it ends with Don, something I was leaning towards but not assuming. (Set in place four years ago--wow.)

I got it. Just saw the scene where Sally reads Betty's letter. Show's gonna end on Sally and the music is Different Drum, Mike Nesmith's 1972 version.

"I translated your speech into pig Latin."

"That was a joke!"

Meredith had the best line: "There are lots of places better than here."

The person already in the room knows Don, maybe even Diane.

Shortest notice prediction ever.

RONG

oh lord Draper in an ashram

I know, I know, it's serious.

Steggy!!

I suppose this is how it must end, Draper participating in one of the worst contribution to mass culture: the rap session.

last song prediciton: theme from "Love Story"

Oh. No.

Did I just watch this

I win the Internet.

Just came on to congratulate you!
