I went to a concert of Bach's St. Matthew Passion at St. Thomas Episcopal Church last night. It was profoundly moving. I had never heard it performed live before, only on CD. Bach brought the totality of his genius to telling that story. The Evangelist intones "But Jesus cried again loud and died," followed by a significant pause. Then the final iteration of the tune we have come to know as the Passion Chorale (or the hymn O Sacred head Surrounded") sung by the Chorus. The music pierces the heart for the believer, nonbeliever, and everyone in between.

As we prepare to leave Don and the gang at Sterling Cooper, this is what we find

Very sad news from The House Next Door. Andrew Johnston passed away yesterday, October 26. His recaps of Mad Men were beautiful pieces of writing. Matt Zoller Seitz stepped in for Andrew yesterday with his usual stunning insights.

When was he looking for work? Hot rods were pretty well known by the 60's--that scene looked like mid 50's.
I think he went from Hope Lange to Love Reign O'er Me to the stables.
Goddamit, Weiner--would a transition kill you? This is AMC, remember?

I'm sorry, I'm still in crisis. And has Don really changed, or he just thinks he changed.

He's the Vincent Chase of the 60s.

You noticed that, huh? Plus he'd sort of, um, changed? Like he wasn't the same character - again.

I agree. And since they combined the commercials and ended 10 minutes early, I feel a little cheated as a viewer. (And I don't even love the show.)

Too much again happened off camera. What happened to Dick Whitman in CA with the first Mrs. Draper?? He was saying he was looking for work, then he takes a dip in the Pacific and ends up on a riding farm in Westchester. Not very tight plotting.

Yeah - he's clearly crazy sniper material.

Does Betty want to be able to tell Don that the baby isn't his?

On Betty's best day, it's not a great time for her to be a mother . . .

Seeing a clip of a Kennedy as president is chilling. You really only usually see funeral clips

If Don would only do his impersonation of James Mason, everything will be alright.

Quite a potpourri of Christian ideology going on here: popsicles as communion. Tarot cards resurrection. Don/Dick in the Ganges washing away his sins in the tide. Me, I prefer my religion straight up.
