[Zmagnette] New one: Now "Cool"

I kind of lost the cool feel for McQueen when word got out that he slapped around his wife & girlfriends. For me that’s kind of “UN COOL” no matter the movie parts he played, bikes he rode and cars he raced.

As soon as Wombat said "Peter Gunn" the theme music started playing in my head.

I'll grant you that Gunn was cool, but was he the ultimate cool?

I think I'd have to vote for Steve McQueen.

  He was the epitome of cool with his $300.00 (1958 dollars) suits and $200.00 Zippo lighter. And then there was that driving guitar beat that every kid wanted to learn: Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na; Na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na; Wah-wah.. Oh well, you had to be there.

   

  Happy New Year to us all.

  Happy new year especially to all us really old ones who are lucky to still be here!!!!

   

  By the way, and having nothing to do with Z Magnettes except the vintageness..I’ve been watching a DVD set of ALL the old Peter Gunn TV series shows, (Yep an Xmas Present), and really enjoying them. At the time, 1958 – 60, old Craig Stevens Peter Gunn was about the ultimate in COOL. Sound track  Jazz Music by some new guy named Henry Mancini, singer and Pete’s girl friend by Lola Albright, produced and some written and directed by some guy named Blake Edwards..(yea Pink Panther, SOB, Victor Victoria, and other classic comedy movies and Mr. Mary Poppins) and a cast of familiar faces. Way before when Steve McQueen became Mr. Cool ( he was still Josh Randall “Bounty Hunter” then ), there was Peter Gunn.

  I even went to my barber and had my hair cut the same way as his, and had a several of those “Sans-A Belt” suits and slacks that he wore. May still have some slacks somewhere.

  I had forgotten what a cute part the Edie Hart, (Lola Albright) had in the series. Guess that’s why I went out and bought her LP record albums too, that and the neat songs by Mancini she did. Wonderful return to the old days for a few hours. Guess what a TV season was in the “Old” days??? Not 18 or 20 episodes..no each season was a full 38 episodes about 25 mins. long. Soo I’ve got most of 2 more full seasons, that’s 38 hours total, to go. And just think...my ZB Magnette was current when this show was on. What??? You don’t know Peter Gunn..........never mind. You are too young to get it.
