The Fifties Were When People Started Coming

Almost Every Venerable Tradition At A Men's Club Starts Out As A Joke.

I Always Remind People Why The Oscars Got Started In 1928: It Was An Effort By The Studios To Suppress The Unions. They Started The Academy Because All The Screenwriters And Directors And Actors Were Unionizing, And They Thought, "we'll Have Something That Resembles A Union, But That's Completely Controlled By The Moneyed Interests In Hollywood." That's What It's Been All These Years. It's Something That Reinforces Hollywood's Image Of Itself. The Best Picture One Year Was Gandhi. Nobody Watched Gandhi, But That's The Kind Of Picture That Always Wins.

It's Not A Crime To Get Drunk.

I Am A Male Chauvinist. Who's Been Saying Otherwise?

The Fifties Were When People Started Coming Down On "juvenile Delinquents," "hoodlums," "vandals"--anybody That Was Young, Wore A Motorcycle Jacket, And Didn't Act Polite Around Older People.
