The Brady Boomers - The 'Tween Generation - 3
Posted on 10/06/2001 9:46:31 PM PDT by WIMom
Most who were born at the tail end of the baby boom
- 1956 to 1964 or the beginning of GenX - 1965 to 1970 -
feel we are not part of those generations.
Therefore, it has been decided, we will be forever know as
THE BRADY BOOMERS
Post your memories of tunes, movies, shows, fashions, school stuff, or anything from OUR generations! And remember, have fun!
- We were too young to serve in Vietnam, but remember the news.
- 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.
- Old boomers came into adulthood at while we were playing with Barbies or G.I. Joes.
- Our clothes and music tended to be lighthearted, and we are more conservative/libertarian as a whole than the older boomers.
- And of course, we faithfully watched The Brady Bunch every Friday night.

OK, now you did it, we'll be seeing pigs and chainsaws shortly!
Deliverance was good. I never liked Texas Chainsaw.....But, if the drive-in was playing it, it didn't matter. Did anyone ever bring pizzas to the drive-in, sit on the car roof while trying to curb the munchies?

We got Clutch Cargo in Hawaii, back in the 70s.
The story I heard was that the creator of the show had a child who was deaf and a lip-reader.
We also got Space Angel and Princess Knight...

"The story I heard was that the creator of the show had a child who was deaf and a lip-reader." ...no offense, but that sounds like a Rodney Dangerfield line.

The cause of the accident is still officially unknown, but witnesses on the scene have told CNN that Timberlake, who was behind the wheel of the vehicle, may have been under the influence of controlled substances, and that Spears may have been engaged in activities that may have distracted him from the road.

Here's the AP story from the link. Don't know about the hoax. If this is a hoax, someone's real sick.
LOS ANGELES, California (AP) -- A car accident Saturday evening has cost the life of Britney Spears, teen pop music sensation, and has placed fellow passenger and musician Justin Timberlake in critical condition at Los Angeles County Hospital.
Spears and Timberlake were driving through the Los Angeles area late Saturday as both enjoyed a brief moment away from their busy touring and recording schedules when, according to eyewitness reports, their car, a rented Porsche 911, veered suddenly across six lanes of traffic and into a concrete barrier.
Motorists at the scene reported that Spears was ejected from the vehicle at impact and flew into opposing traffic, where she was caught under the wheels of at least one other vehicle before traffic could stop. Timberlake remained safely in the damaged vehicle.
"It was horrible, absolutely horrible," said one witness to the scene, "she was thrown around on the road like a rag doll. We stopped and ran to help but it was obvious there was nothing we could do."
Authorities pronounced Spears dead at the scene, while Timberlake was rushed to emergency surgery to treat internal bleeding.
The cause of the accident is still officially unknown, but witnesses on the scene have told CNN that Timberlake, who was behind the wheel of the vehicle, may have been under the influence of controlled substances, and that Spears may have been engaged in activities that may have distracted him from the road.
"It's too early to say at this point what may have caused the accident," said an officer at the scene, "it appears that the driver lost control of the vehicle suddenly, but we're still determining why that happened."
