Speaking of LSD, it was the late, very great Cary Grant who spoke of the wonders of LSD - perhaps encouraging his younger fans to use the stuff. Who knows?
Do you really think the Baby Boomers created the filth that started coming out of Hollywood in the late 60s? That stuff started in the 1950s when the studio system fell apart and the Hayes office was extinguished. Baby boomers along with their parents simply bought the tickets. You can condemn them for that but they didn't create the pollution. (In fact, Hollywood has been filled with dope addicts and sex nuts since its founding - and I speak as a fan! Check out the “pre code” movies of the 1920s & early 30s.) Of course, Baby Boomers and the next generation, continued the trend. But it wasn't my theatrical generation who created the vile “Book of Mormon.”
59,000 Americans died in Viet Nam. I'm not a statistician. Maybe you can give the figures of which Baby Boomers slogged through the rice paddies and which ones sung Kumbaya. Certainly the Kumbaya-types got more press and tv time.
“Stop being so hysterical in your hatred of baby boomers.”
It isn’t hysterical, and I’m not anything that hasn’t been said before.
“What generation were people like Bill Ayres, Jane Fonda, Pete Seeger, Abbie Hoffman, Timothy Leary, the Berrigan Brothers, Jimmy Carter, etc?”
Didnt say the radical nature of the 60’s and 70’s didnt affect older people no less. The cementing of the mentality of the times in the minds of impressionable baby boomers guaranteed that it would be shoved down the throats of Gen-X and Y. Which it was.
“Do you really think the Baby Boomers created the filth that started coming out of Hollywood in the late 60s?”
Create? They didnt have to create it. They just had to absorb it, and echo it. Which they did.
