FEELIN' GROOVY

Are the sixties coming back? Let's go to the tape:
  • Macy's is marketing clothing to young men and women in a campaign called "Summer of Love."
  • Ameriprise Financial ads feature Dennis Hopper.
  • The copy for ABCs "The Bachelorette read, "One lucky girl's summer of love begins."
  • Clothing ads for Children's Place feature peace symbols.
  • Brooks Brothers is rerunning a newspaper ad from the sixties.
  • Luvs ads show children riding in a VW micro bus and carrying protest signs.
  • Volkswagen commercials feature the micro bus and classic beetle -- neither of which they make anymore.
  • The musical "Hair" is back on Broadway.
  • The "Woodstock" movie is out on Blue-Ray with additional footage and added features.

Now if they'd just bring back cheap gasoline and good acid. And the Volkswagen micro bus.
