Hinderaker is apparently in London, at the moment.

He just saw some true British pageantry, as the South Africans come in for an official state visit, at Buckingham — to see Charles among others.

And he heard the British military band play a song he thought was from a movie, or a Western TV series….

In fact, it was the theme for the Marlboro cigarette commercials (yes, kids, we as grade schoolers watched enthralled, as above — we dutifully learned that truly rugged Western mountain cowpokes all preferred… cigarettes made by Marlboro. And we’d smoke ’em — in our own private planes — ones we’d fly ourselves, with our fetching blonde mates, no less. Damn — what an age that was!)….

You’re welcome.

Enjoy the show, John.
