Despite her face being obscured, even without reading the caption, it is easy to identify Ms. Merkel through the Alpine wildflowers, leading a group of suit and tie men to the designated rocky promontory where they are going to rehearse singing, "I'd Like to Buy the World a Home," sung without endorsing a classic American soft drink known as Coca-Cola.
For anyone who might just be getting back from the Space Station, or a chemically induced coma and you missed the ending of 'Mad Men' where that 1971 commercial chestnut, 'I'd Like to Buy the World a Coke,' closed the series as Don Draper has a meditation moment cross-legged on a hilltop.
I loved that commercial. It was lyrical, and one of the women in the front row reminded me of a statistics teacher I had at the night school I was attending at the time. For the life of me I can't remember her name, but it's her twin.
Originally, the G-7 Group was going to record 'The Hills Are Alive' from 'The Sound of Music.' They went to Plan B when the Mad Men/Don Draper ending attracted so much international attention.
Personally, I can't wait for the release. I may just buy the album.
