You are more likely GENERATION JONES than boomer.

Thanks for the link.

I am very much a Joneser. Guess it's lonely in the middle. Culturally & aesthetically I share many things with the Boomers, yet my values are far more conservative.

Example: my best friend is a Boomer. Lord love her, but she is raving liberal & neurotic. Likes Hillary, has gay relatives, into activist causes. Not hippie, though, but VERY Kerry-like.

My stepmother, too -- very Californian, into Esalen -- peace, man -- touchy-feely, got-to-respect-everyone-in-the-world.

My roommates, though, are in their 30s, and they love talking to me. Somehow I'm a citadel of wisdom, maybe because they're so badly educated. However, their lifestyles are very conservative. Makes me sort of wish I had been born 10 years later. Yet their tastes in art & music -- euuhhh!

The 80s & 90s? Yuk! Give me the 70s movies & music. The decade sucked in other areas, but the culture was great.

Surely you jest. The decade of disco and leisure suits. I couldn't wait for the 70's to end. I liked some of the music of the 70's, but definitely not the disco stuff. Yuck.
