: Hi there!

: I'm a big Indyfan since my childhood, but i think of Indy as the only real cool character there was at the movies. So what does cool mean in 1930 until 1950? Nobody thought at that time that smoking is bad. So I guess Indy if he would have been real, he had smoked. Besides I remember seeing drink a lot in 'the raiders of the lost ark' that didn't do anything to his reputation. (even his girlfriend at that time could drink him under the table!).

: Ok. I used to smoke and i have quit for half a year now. I hope I'll continue for nonsmoking...who knows.

: Cu
: Sidious!

: I have always thought the main Indiana Jones theme was inspired by the popular -TO A SMOKER...IT'S A KENT.-jingle and theme song of the 1960 time period. Cigarette comercials were probably the largest share of TV comercials back then, so me, John Williams and everybody else heard that jingle a thousand times and more.- Back my play you older bastards!..anybody there?
