Personally, I think that rock n roll music provided the early soundtrack for our cultural demise.

Wow...OK. Fair enough. I live to rock and rock to live. I always have and I always will. I'm not a cultural misfit. Rock 'n roll is music, that's all. Our "cultural demise" as you call it was more likely brought about by a generation that didn't have to make any sacrifices and wouldn't have even if it had been necessary. Blaming a music genre for that is, with all due respect, rather silly to me.

BTW, please don't respond...you've brought me down enough already.

To which generation do you refer when you speak of a generation that didn’t make sacrifices and wouldn’t have “even if it had been necessary”?

Are you talking about us baby boomers? A generation that was drafted and fought courageously in Viet Nam,even though many draftees were too young to vote or even buy a goddamn beer? Who were then spat upon and reviled and betrayed for their heroism. Is it my generation you are talking about?

A generation that solidly supported the civil rights movement? Hmmm? A generation that was traumatized in our youth by the murder of our president and somehow we had to cope with that?

A generation left vulnerable by the blind trust in government by our “greatest generation parents”?

A generation that is the most generous that has ever existed in this nation.

That is my generation. I hope you don’t mean my generation in your disgusting lying put-down. Do you?
