5. I love Steely Dan...Asia was one of the great albums.

But honestly when I think of those times I think of this.

4. pretty good for the time

It might have aired in the 70's when the hippy movement was becoming normalized (or usurped, depending on viewpoint), but the concept/style is quite 60's, think Yellow Submarine, Peter Max. Interesting for that reason.

6. Vincent Collins

did the animation for that video. He also did animation for Sesame Street.

7. Another work of art by Vince Collins

The person who put it on YouTube called it "propaganda," but this is a real work of art. Vince Collins is still around doing stuff on the interwebs.

Some of his other work:

One of his trippiest works was Malice in Wonderland in 1982.

Here's a recent work:

8. I agree, the piece could hardly be labelled propaganda.

Highlights the contradictions between the war-like eagle and the peace sign. Satirizes the U.S. as a producer of fast food. I'll have to ad this to my YouTube collection for the next time I drop acid.

9. How many remember how sick we got of the bicentennial?

Pizza was being served with 13 slices.
