POST BOOMERS/PRE X - finally, a thread just for us - Thread 2
Posted on 10/02/2001 10:38:59 AM PDT by WIMom
Last night, there was an anti baby boom thread that started with a rant, and before some disruptor trashed it, some of us who were born at the tail end of the baby boom - from 1956 to 1964 - were having some nice recollections. The things that we seem to have in common are the following:
1. We were too young to serve in Vietnam, but remember the news.
2. As far as we're concerned, the music, television and popular entertainment and heroes of the 60s were and still are a matter for personal taste, and don't represent the shining apex of all civilization, icons to be revered by generations to come - in short, the Beatles were just a band that some might not like, and old Trek was cheesy and not well written.
3. Old boomers came into adulthood at the ideal economic circumstance - we've had to work for ours.
4. Our clothes and music tended to be lighthearted, and we are more conservative/libertarian as a whole than the older boomers.
So post your memories of tunes, movies, shows, fashions, school stuff, etc.
And enjoy yourselves!

Fondue is WONDERFUL. However, the pots they sell nowadays are garbage.

" I saw some good ones, but not like you did. Santana in Colorado Springs, Nugent in Denver, Seger, CDB, ARS, Stones, Yes, Bad Company, Boston, Marshall Tucker, Heart, and some others that the excessive THC abuse prevents recollection of. "Hey, I've seen Boston and Seger, but you've seen a bunch that I've missed... not seeing Nugent yet is a major regret.
Although I once did see the Cars open for... Styx?

"Remember when Susan Dey got radio receiption through her braces? Yeah, and she kept complaining that she had the Rolling Stones inside of her mouth!
I remember thinking, "Who the heck are they?"

No, I swear it's true... No one knew what "New Wave" was yet.
