      @@brett6905 Have you ever watched some of the contestants on American Idol before they have even made it to the top 12? Talk about arrogance. One of the judges even commented that some of them are already cocky and act like the show wouldn't exist without them. Frankie comes from a different time. Manners were more in fashion than now.

    • @brett6905
      @brett6905 3 роки тому

      ​@@annchovey2089 Sure we can agree manners in public were more fashionable. People knew in order to be on TV back then they had to have a certain image and behave a certain way.. The culture has always been manipulated by the money-printing class to benefit themselves. The American Idol contestants although I have not seen the show in a good 10 years, would never have made it to air back then. Today that behavior is more celebrated... I would say they are probably more obnoxious to get on TV these days...
      No matter what kind of person you truly are most people have different personas in different places. Celebrities today have allot riding on their public image whether its clean-cut, badboy, whatever. We never see the real person, just a carefully crafted image.
      I will give you an example... Pretty much all of Frankies laughter in this video is social/polite/fake laughter. I would bet a hundred bucks he did not find any of it funny, because the genuine laugh muscles around the eyes did not tense up once. It's a physiological trait we all have when we are genuinely laughing. I could point out several things in Frankies body language that tell me his is not being authentic. Thats normal but I would never make claims about his character based on a TV appearance.

      The sixties were a first big step in the nightmare we’re wading through today. That’s not to say Groucho grew up in times that were that much better, but at least people had a little more common sense in the early twentieth century. Groucho did lose a lot of money in the stock market scams that led up to the crash of 29, after all.

      We know God has a sense of humor because He made man in His own image (Genesis 1:26,27), but He can't be laughing now when looking down on mankind in its present condition. However, the agnostic Mark Twain made an astute observation. He said, "The most singular peculiarity of the Bible is its absence of humor." There are a few funny things in the Bible, like Nathaniel's response to his friend Phillip, who said, 'We have found Him of whom Moses in the law and also the prophets wrote about, Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph.' Nathaniel said to him, 'Can anything good come out of Nazareth?'" (John1:4,46); but none are intentional.

    Groucho makes me laugh so much. This was cute. Frankie was so young and kinda shy. I used to love that song. "I Cant Give You Anything But Love."
    I still have Eddie Fishers record of it. My son who was not originally born in Philly, But lived there for several years, got his first Grammy for producing the record "You Got Me", for the Roots, featuring Erika Badu, out of Phiily. And a couple of other hits made in Philly. I should have watched this show more when i was a kid.

Naturally, they didn't know who Frankie Avalon is, and the reaction to the show was mixed, but some of the kids seemed to be having a good time watching and laughing at Groucho. If only this generation would discover shows like this they'd discover what real talent (like Groucho) is and how it's possible for a show to be both funny and family-friendly.

      The culture has always been manipulated by those in power to benefit themselves. Frankie had a carefully crafted image and if he didn't conform to that image at least while he was on TV, he would not have been there.
      Hollywood has always attracted the same type of people. Narcissists, substance abusers, sexual deviancy, etc... But at this time in American history that image was not allowed on the television. Wholesome behavior was profitable and desirable by the big corporations.
