The term "Mad Minute" did not originate with the Vietnam War. It originated from British Army infantry skill-at-arms training from just before World War 1, when an infantryman - during what would today be called his Annual Personal Weapons Test, or APWT - had to get at least 15 hits on a 300 yard target in 60 seconds. No mean feat with a bolt-action rifle fed from a 10-round magazine normally loaded from 5-round stripper clips (and thus needing to be reloaded during the practice). This is why the German Army in the opening battles of WW1 frequently thought they were facing machinegun fire when they were mainly up against infantrymen with bolt-action .303 Lee Enfields on rapid fire.
The "mad minute" was used by, amongst others, author Michael Herr in "Despatches", in that case to describe periods of intense automatic weapons fire during the Vietnam War. Also used to describe any short period of frenetic activity.

If you say that someone is mad keen on something, you are emphasizing that they are very enthusiastic about it.

"The DeLorean DMC-12 was such a cool car."
"Aw yeah, man, it was mad bitchin'."
"My computer has 32 gigs of RAM and two 3.0 Quad-Core processors! It's mad bitchin'!"
"Not only was Sypro truly a pimp-ass, he was also mad bitchin'."
"My good sir, what do you think of the Internet?"
"Why, the internet is a jolly good place! It truly transcends the boundaries of greatness to the point of insanity!"
"I agree, it really is mad bitchin'!"

Church. Sundays. Basscave. Put Barcelona (bar/venue/Austin tx. 6th st. & Brazos) venue on the map!!! Barcelona was just another bar on dirty 6th playing terrible music, always empty, never would have stayed in business for long if it weren't for Mad Classy. If you know..you know. Say what you will...the world has never seen anything quite like what went down in Austin TX when Mad Classy started in 2008 and they are still going. Every sunday. Barcelona. Church. It's not just a listening experience it's a physical experience.
"Hey! You going to Church this week?"
"Mad Classy. Every Sunday. Barcelona. Cheap drinks. Bassmax. The bass cave. Our Church!!"
"So is like the place you are at called Mad Classy or is the band's name Mad Classy? And what the hell is DubStep? Or is THAT the name of the band?...😩😑😬" "Bum Alley" "Mad Classy changed my life I wouldn't miss a Sunday at the bass cave for anything in the world!"
