Mad Magazine National Lampoon and High Times 1953-1981 R.I.P.

@bpkeane1 Mad Magazine and Lampoon had some of the best song parodies ever. I wasn't a High Times reader - the world doesn't need me on drugs, as evidenced by my videos. Thanks for commenting!

better to laugh than cry... says one Photoshopped out of existence. brilliant.

so, we're supposed to take the laptop into the lavatory, now?

As a fellow freelance writer, I found this entertaining... but with a sad truth behind it all.

[cinemasolo]

Thanks for commenting. You're right - it's sad, especially for all the people who worked at those magazines. It's a really tough haul for them.

YES! magazines need to be exterminated

[cinemasolo]

Why bother? They're exterminating themselves.

[AttractionsMagazine]

So sad. I hope ours is never added to the list.

[cinemasolo]

Me too! Hang in there! -bd

Yeah, I too noticed the mistaken inclusion of Harper's. Funnily enough, it's the one title I wish WOULD go out business, but it's supported by lefty foundation money. That's one way magazines may cling to life.

[cinemasolo]

Ain't no 'splainin' this stuff! Thanks for watching! -bd

As a writer, I find this both very funny and very painful, which I'm sure was the intent. Great, great song and video. ..bruce..

[cinemasolo]

Thanks, it's definitely gallows humor. I wish another kind were available. -bd

Harper's didn't go out of business.

[cinemasolo]

Good catch - I should have said "Harper's Weekly," a different publication which has come and gone from time to time since the 19th century, but is currently gone. I put up the wrong cover. I'll fix that in the director's cut.
