Mad Men - Don and Harry "meet" The Rolling Stones

[@FrankChiem]

Don doesn't even try to hide his disdain for Harry haha

[@yseson_]

The only thing Don ever hides is himself, he’s the perfect ad man

[@skyblueerik]

And Dawn.

[@jpetersgoyanks]

Nor should he

[@Onigirli]

@@jpetersgoyanks I think he means Dawn for Harry

[@dasikakn]

This scene makes them look so old and crusty. Best part is Don already starts his market research knowing how different he is from that generation. Love that he’s still amused by them.

[@oooh19]

Harry's handsome tbh. How do more people not notice?

[@rohunsaigal2576]

She probably reminds him of Sally

[@rohunsaigal2576]

@@oooh19 funnily enough I think Harry's style here works much better for a modern day audience then it would back then. These days we value tight-fitting clothes with a good figure, a "neat" short haircut and glasses can be "cool" but back then when the epitome of sexy was mop-top rockstars and long haired hippies wearing baggy clothes, people would have seen his look as very "poindexter" type nerdy

Harry acting like the children he conceived with his wife are KGB operatives. Just get them the dang burgers.

[@rohunsaigal2576]

Lol just realized the security guard who takes Don's money and says "Sir, I promise you'll know" was referring to the screaming kids running indicating that the Stones had arrived

[@chinaphone]

A couple of things that stood out to me in this scene: 1. When they told the young lady they were in advertising and she referenced Derwood (Darin) and Larry from Bewitched. To me, Mad Men was the darker, sadder, behind the curtain version of the sitcoms we grew up watching where the father was in "advertising." My young self didn't know what that really was at the time. Now I'm on KZbin, spending hours watching the old 80's commercials of my youth for that dopamine hit of nostalgia. 2. The same young lady says he's like a psychiatrist. Don, being the advertising executive, is like a psychiatrist. Except instead of trying to cure us, he taps into our subconscious wants and needs in order to sell us things, ketchup, cigarettes, Hershey Bars, etc. Damn, I miss this show.

[@willusa4167]

and Don knows exactly why she thinks she knows all about psychiatrists

[@MrGared22]

It's funny, I always thought of Don and Roger as more handsome (but yes, more darker) versions of Darrin and Larry Tate from Bewitched.

[@milkmanmichael5955]

Thank you, not nearly enough Mad Men clips on KZbin

[@SnowTheJamMan]

I feel the same, plan to make more

[@ericvelasquez1282]

Mad men has such great acting, even the one-off character gives great performance

[@yseson_]

It was the acting and the scenes, the writing was terrific it never felt like television… and it wasn’t cinema, rather it felt how television should always have been

[@romilrh]

I can't believe Harry's actor was the voice of Henry in Firewatch

[@booboo4963]

Yeah. It’s weird that actors do parts in different pieces of media.

[@pietrofionda7189]

"You signed the Trade Winds ...". The original name of a band called Styx.

[@thewkovacs316]

great story if it was true

[@RichV20]

They were a mid-60s rock group who were bubbling below the Top 40, and who probably did open for the Stones here. The most famous member, Vini Poncia, went on to co-write and produce Ringo Starr's 70s albums. He also produced and c0-wrote most of KISS' late 70s and 80s albums. His peak, co-writing KISS' 1979 hit "I Was Made For Lovin You". He also wrote a #1 song for Leo Sayer, the 1976 hit "You Make Me Feel Like Dancing".

[@Teeveepicksures]

different band

[@candice44]

“Eat first” is maybe my favorite Harry scene in the whole show.

[@rollie3383]

Meanwhile Roger was probably backstage with Keith Richards

[@danielvazquez8856]

Well, at least they signed The Tradewinds. “New York’s a Lonley Town” is a catchy little tune.

[@albdamned577]

Don Draper talking to his daughter through proxy

[@W00KER]

This whole sequence was phenomenal. Didn't remember this at all. I love the last time Don questions the girl. "What do you think he wants?" and "We're worried about you" are perfect. Maybe I'm just getting old. Also, i lol'd at "There were 20!"

[@mphrdldn]

A lot has come out about how badly Brian Jones treated women. So Don right to be concerned about the young lady. But Jones really attracted female fans.

[@singhatar0912]

😂 Don always the coolest in the room

[@JudgeJulieLit]

She likely saw, he had not "come up to Kool" cigarettes."

[@James-g8q1e]

Cool depends on perception between generations- Don has timeless style but to 1960s counterculture he is an old man which he is being around 40 then means he was born in late 1920s and was a kid during the depression so it is like me relating to Gen Z I have no clue what the hell they are listening to most of time and have to figure it out but he is asking questions to get to informed and figure out what the fuss of kids is about. Look at what Don drinks Old Fashions and Rye which may have made a comeback but for years that would be an old man’s drink probably even then. Don is a very old fashioned but his job requires him to try to put a pulse on what younger people want and how they will spend money. This is why ad agencies and tech companies now hire young people because Don has skill but he is out of touch with a younger target demographic

[@annalisavajda252]

Yeah they look like a couple of middle aged "suits" though if I were a teenage girl backstage at a rock concert I would avoid them unless I thought since they are in advertising maybe they are model searching. Just in the script though not realistic like Peggy or anyone not knowing she pregnant for nine months no morning sickness missed periods massive weight gain to tip her off lol.

[@southamcaballero]

Don essentially never wanted to hang out with any guys as friends, except for Roger

[@arricammarques1955]

Yeah, the Stones pimped for Rice Krispies!

[@AYVYN]

Why doesn’t Harry just bring home two bags for his family. It’s still such a funny scene lmao

[@NickTheNewbie]

What would that girl have done had don presented the cigarette, she gave him the joint, and then it turned out Don was actually a cop?

Allen Klein didn't manage the Stones when Brian Jones was alive.

Yes he did. Signed on as manager in 1967, and was fired in 1970.

[@BboyCorrosive]

[@yo-yotension4613]

I am white, but this shows that this version of black American music was bastardized for teen white girls sexual starvation. Jagger did not know how to dance, and the rest of the band was average. Their name was taken from Muddy Water’s song, did they know or care? Sad period in American music history.

[@ewm335]

“They” meaning teen girls? Many did not. Did the Stones know where their name came from? Definitely. I think the Stones and other British Invasion bands loved the blues, and catering to the “teen white girls sexual starvation” was how the music industry profited from that. Obviously that’s problematic - but it’s obvious to the point where I’m not sure why folks bring it up without seeming to understand that performers like the Stones really embraced this music (whether you think they played it well is a fair point) and, in contrast, that their appeal in those early days had a lot more to do with image than music. If the Stones never existed, were white teenage girls instead going to lose their shit at the sight of Willie Dixon?

[@danhurd9864]

Yet they’ve survived

[@elpulpo800]

The stones are not "american music history." They are a music from the UK. At the time of this scene American music was flourishing--some of the greatest stuff in 20th century music history was being put out. And you call it a "sad period." Your problem is that you're looking at not even .01% sample of the music and generalizing all of it from there.
