Bad Examples

Bad Is Beautiful
$15.95
I was ten years old when this album came out and was fortunate enough to get a copy of it because my dad was in the printing business and worked on the printing of the artwork. Of all the CDs I would nab from my dad's CD collection, The Bad Examples were my favorite. I started playing guitar, writing music, and to this day they're still one of my biggest inspirations. This album is pure rock/pop at it's finest. It jumps from catchy singles that would put the patrons of any bar on it's feet, to ballads so sweet and beautiful you wonder why they aren't on major motion picture soundtracks. This album is amazing, and more importantly, timeless. The emotions and situations that these songs draw from mean even more to me know that I've grown up and understand them. In short, buy this album. It is amazing.

1953 Cold War Social Etiquette, Good Citizenship & American Moral Conformity Film
$7.99
This 1950s social etiquette film overtly encourages good citizenship and proper manners to young school children, as well as unintentionally representing Cold War culture. The narrator of the film introduces Harvey as "the happiest boy in school." While he walks through the school yard, he waves and smiles at the other children, and they all happily wave back as though he is royalty. And why shouldn't he be treated royally, he's a productive member of society (by being an utter conformist)! The film teaches the importance neatness and cleanliness, simply helping others, and being conscientious about making even new kids feel welcome, all examples of good citizenship. American family values and ethical behavior are stressed as vital to teaching teens good manners. Only slightly touched upon by the film are examples of bad manners: little Tommy is always late, which is poor etiquette! While the content of the film remains utterly positive, the underpinnings of all of the "citizenship" and "togetherness" used in this film are really social conformity. The 1950's were about searching for perfection in society and the wholesome overtones of this Cold War culture film exemplify that heightened push for American individual conformity.
