Hey Will, my hips may hurt after jogging, and I am soon destined for the Sky. The diference between us seems to be I know it but you still think it won't happen to you. "Soon" is relative, my man. (try to bum me out will you?) No way!
just funnin ya....
If it weren't for the boomers, we wouldn't have had a lot of really great things, like the love-ins with all the ugly, hairy people,
the classic Ford Pinto,
wheat germ,
perms on white guys,
the great disco crisis of '78,
self-indulgence,
polyester bell-bottoms,
race riots,
fiscal mis-management,
social irresponsibility,
pet rocks,
urban collapse,
and the perhaps the quintessential Symbol of Male Baby Boomers:
President William Jefferson Clinton.
My students vaguely remember Clinton. They are pretty sure He was "from the sixties" and something that used to be relevant, something called ......a "democrat".
The college freshmen today like some of the music from the Boomers, they say it helps them lay around the dorm and avoid work, which is uncanny, because it had the exact same effect on their grandparents.....
But don't worry, when I get up there, the thug little kids we have today will be all grown up, and they will be harvesting my one good hip to sell on eBay, version 2065.
I like the baby boomers, i really do.
The Perpetual 13 year olds of the Baby Boom, much like Bill Clinton, have never let me down....
So, stay groovy, and Keep on Truckin' \/
and remember, I'm just teasin', 15 years from now my kids will be telling me to shove my antique blackberry and dusty old iPod up my geriatic @$$.....
