Yes! No question about it. What I see happening is a little different than in past generational hoo-raw. THESE oldsters were raised on protest, and so their "second childhood" is wrapped around all this national unrest. Sheesh. Remember when the old folks just clucked disapprovingly? :-)
The other operative thing here is that '60s peeps will NEVER admit they are, at long last, "old folks."
