Mad Men: Roger Sterling’s LSD trip was based on real ad


 
In last week’s episode of Mad Men, smug Madison Avenue advertising honcho Roger Sterling drops acid for the first time, thumbs through a magazine with the above image and then looks into a mirror, seeing himself with a similar situation going on with his own hair.

The ad was actually real and so was the product: “Great Day For Men” hair dye. The gentleman modeling the two-tone ‘do? None other than future “Ted Baxter,” the great Ted Knight!

This is supposedly an anti-litter campaign from the Belfast City Council. I did some research to see if the campaign was real and all I could find was this ad posted on Flickr.

As Redditor Aaronman says, “In other news, only people who have taken acid know the plausible effects of acid.”

This poor guy recounts the time he accidentally took 30 hits of liquid LSD with an eyedropper. It actually doesn’t sound as awful as I thought it would. (NSFW due to multiple F-bombs)

Stu Mitchell
Wes Dakus's Rebels

 
Stu Mitchell was the drummer for Edmonton, Alberta instrumental rockers Wes Dakus’s Rebels. He had a brief solo career, releasing a handful of singles for Kapp Records. Acid was the B-side of a 45 released in 1967.

Mitchell, sounding a whole lot like Jim Morrison, takes us on a trip down “nowhere street in a town called LSD.” While the lyrics seem to be a cautionary tale about the hazards of acid, the end result is actually pretty psychedelic. I can imagine Scott Walker covering this.
