Oh wow, culture jamming!
I used to like that magazine, Adbusters.
Re: Noble intent
Especially when you had Jack Valenti on your side.
Ronnie and Nancy are reported to have smoked weed with big donor Alfred Bloomingdale at a party when he ran for governor.
That was a wonderful thing, and the funniest thing I’ve seen all week, thank you.
We all know how keen Reagan was on drugs. He was especially keen on smuggling large quantities of them into the US in order to fund right-wing death squads.
It’s easy to forget that Reagan was widely seen as an unqualified clown when he was elected to office. It was largely a deserved perception, in my opinion… but in retrospect boy howdy did Ron & Nancy seem well-spoken and charismatic on TV compared to the most recent Republican occupants of the White House.
The lady standing next to him laughing is pretty great…
It warms the cockles of my heart to know that Lee Marvin and Clu Gulager routinely made sure Reagan did not have a fun time filming The Killers.
On the other hand, if Ronald Reagan had enjoyed himself more perhaps he wouldn’t have retired from acting to enter politics.
