Clow and Bogusky Say Nothing, Still Kings of Advertising

clow_bogusky_chat.jpg

You know, on one hand you have to respect the likes of Lee Clow and Alex Bogusky for the successes they’ve had and the successes they’ve built in the form of their agencies but, on the other hand, for some reason when these two sit in the same room with each other to discuss the definition of advertising, advertising agency and then end up trying to define the future of film while coming to no conclusions, it leaves one, well, disappointed. Granted, a three minute video segment isn’t a lot of time but if these are the best nuggets the editors were able to find, it leaves one, well, disappointed. We do, however, love how the water glasses suddenly turn into wine glasses and Lee wastes no time imbibing. But, whatever. You know, you and I would give anything to be in the positions these two hold so any complaints we may have just come off as the jealous rantings of an underachieving wannabe. So we’re going to pretend we didn’t say anything at all about this and simply bow down at the feet of our masters.

I hosted Christmas for my entire extended family for twenty-seven years and this year I said I wasn’t doing it anymore and my sister asked ‘Why?’ with genuine confusion – and I realized she’d never once considered that it was work, not joy, and that I might be exhausted

I’m 73 and the regrets I carry aren’t about the things I didn’t do — they’re about the version of myself I maintained for so long that the people closest to me spent their entire childhoods and marriages relating to a performance rather than a person, and I’m not sure how to account for that or whether accounting for it at this stage counts as enough
