Always Anti-fascist!
I mean, I think he decided against doing that. But you never really know with Don. For such an organization guy, he's got a bohemian streak.

Art Crawl!!!
A TWOPPER pointed out that Don's Eurotrash weekend was not unlike the time he spent in the Village with Midge and her crowd. He could just drop the adman persona and go think different thoughts.
I suspect that he doesn't get to do that much anymore and I wonder if his foreign movie breaks offer enough of a change for him.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
One of the clips for next week did seem to show him following the Jet Set to the caribbean. It's an interesting turn for his character, and I have to admire the narrative risk taking.
Ultimately he has to go back to NYC (I do think he loves his kids. Besides, show not named Eurotrash Beach Bum), but it will be interesting to see if he can undergo a sea change.

“Not dead yet!”
What's been getting me about that phone call he made was how easily he said the name Dick Whitman. And he didn't repeat it, in that rusty sort of way when you haven't said a name for a long time or the person on the other line might be surprised to hear it.

Was it? I thought he was somewhere like San Diego—I could've sworn I saw military ships in the background and sailors.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Yeah, that's what I saw.
There were a few things I thought were too on the mark -- that girl's name was Joy? Also, the one guy was like, "Oh, I'm gay. Therefore, I will be your new hairdresser!" @@

Though in fairness to arty German bohemians, Astrid Kirchherr wasn't a professional hairdresser, but she gave the Beatles their distinctive haircuts.

aka "The artist formerly known as Corwood Industries."
Yeah, there was too much on-the-nose-ness. I was guessing that the Eurotrash were secretly penniless Romany, like in the show I never watched.
