...quintessential baby boomer, Stone has held a wide variety of jobs—but all along the way he’s been the behind-the-scenes man, the guy with the boss’s ear and also the man with a plan to help the people...
...guitar music now known as classic rock wasn't born classic. It became classic through a combination of radio marketing--the classic-rock-station label was born in 1983--and the happy associations formed by its mostly white, middle-class boomer listeners.

Its aesthetic perfectly fits its black baby boomer protagonist (the smartly chosen sound track bursts with such soul hits as the Ohio Players' Love Rollercoaster). But like My Wife, Mac rarely mentions race--a sharp contrast to the netlet shows, which load their scripts with in-jokes. And unlike, say, The Jeffersons, the show treats Mac's wealth matter...
