Reply to The videoclip Sonic Youth - Bull in the heather is 29 years old. The brunette Kathleen Hanna in the video was not even part of the band (she is married to Beastie boys member and one of the OG for women moviment) and the blond (Kim Gordon) will be 70 years old next month. by Rodan-Lewarx

Kathleen Hanna isn’t well known because she’s somebody’s wife, ffs. With her band Bikini Kill she basically started the Riot Grrrl movement in the 90s.

Reply to The original Ronald McDonald 1963 by iosews

I just got a flood of memories of the early-&-mid-‘90s. ‘70s culture was still so alive in general…elementary school me would go to McDonald’s with my mom and the Happy Meals would come with big reusable plastic cups to keep in your kitchen with the McDonald’s characters in bright colors on it, yellow background, Ronald, the Hamburgler, purple guy shaped like a shroom I don’t remember his name, duck looking gal with pigtails don’t remember her name either. People generally were so much friendlier then, hippie-ish strangers greeting & talking to each other kindly at McDonald’s. Now it’s psycho Karens & the worker screaming at you to pick up your food. The different TV commercials with the characters were always on but Ronald certainly did not look anything like THIS anymore, thank God.

Edit: Also I remember they gave glass cups with stone engraving for The Flintstones movie (1994)! And they used to provide a movie with your meal (VHS tape of course), they’d run a different one at a time. In ‘93 I got “Babes in Toyland” with Drew Barrymore and then “Wizard of Oz.” Fast food came with GLASS cups and MOVIES. My God, it was different times. Oh how I miss it.
