He is of the same generation as Jimi Hendrix, Jane Fonda, John McCain, The Beatles, Elvis, The Chicago Seven, Janis Joplin, Bob Seeger, Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young, Van Morrison, Jim Morrison and most all of the youth leaders of the 1960s that you can name.
NOT. most were born 45 or later.Hendrix born in 45.
Actually, those folks you named would’ve been in the (ludicrously named) “Silent Generation”, wedged in between the Greatest Generation (who fought in WW2) and the Baby Boomers.
Audie Murphy was born in 1925. Janis Joplin was born in 1943. Audie Murphy was old enough to have been the father of any of the rock stars you mention. But, the musicians all missed the classification of baby boomer by about 3 years.
Uh no, he is not of the generation of moonbats and degenerates you mention.
The Greatest Generation refers to those who were born during the Great Depression AND who served in WWII. Only one of your mostly insulting list qualifies by birth year but certainly not by service to his country, as David Dellenger opted for Federal prison time instead of the military. Every other person was born in the late 1930s and 1940s; Korea and Viet Nam were the wars they dealt with, one way or the other.
And I can't imagine Jim Hendrix, et al. exhibiting the same courage, perseverance and all around toughness of the Greatest Generation. McCain survived a POW camp, but the others are/were wussies.
Let’s see who is who on this list:
Hendrix - extremely talented and died from a drug overdose. STUPID
Janis Joplis - very talents and died from a drug overdose.
Crosby, Stills Nash & Young. Talents. My wife liked Southern Cross; I liked “Woodstock”. Some really good songs, some sucked. Voices often sounded like someone stepped on a flow of chickens.
The Beatles - one of the most talented rock groups around. Nothing against the talented writer John Lennon except that he married that leftist fool, Yoko Ono.
Elvis - THE KING. What else can you say? “Jail House Rock”, my first 45. “All Shook Up”, “Burnin’ Love”, “US Male”, “In the Ghetto”, his Christmas album, etc. Also a GI in the 50’s.
Van Morrison - very talented.
Jim Morrison - also talented but died of a drug overdose.
Jane Fonda: - Beautiful airhead, used up sexual toy, self-proclaimed communist. Hypocritical capitalist.
Pete Seeger - Very talented but died a hardcore Communist (see www.keywiki.org for some information on his lifelong association with various communist parties, fronts and causes).
The Chicago Seven - Contained hardcore reds (Seale, Dellinger, Davis, Froines, Hayden, and hardcore clowns (Abbie Hoffman and Jerry Rubin).
John McCain - Vietnam veteran/pilot, and POW, US Senator. Brave man but a lousy politician.
Out of all of these ideological people, I have met Fonda, Seeger, Rennie Davis/Dave Dellinger (C -7); and Adm. John McCain (CINCOMPAC). One hero and the rest, traitors.
The ideological people were NOT members of the “Greatest Generation”. They were traitors, even though Seeger served in WW II, as did the grandfather Adm. McCain and his son. Grandson was in Vietnam.
There is a different between these groups. What hurt the musicians was massive drug-use, which explains why some of the best aren’t around anymore.
Jerry Garcia, 8/1/1942 -8/9/1995.
That's a bunch of crap.
Janis was BORN in 1943, Seeger was BORN in 1945 - while Audie Murphy was in the Army in Europe: how does that make him the same generation?
