The Brady Boomers - The 'Tween Generation - 5
Posted on 10/12/2001 3:54:37 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.
Here's a story,
Of a lovely lady,
Who was bringing up three very lovely girls.
All of them had hair of gold,
Like their mother,
The youngest one in curls.
Here's a story,
Of a man named Brady,
Who was busy with three boys of his own.
They were four men,
Living all together, but they were all alone-.
Till the one day when the lady met this fellow,
and they knew they were much more than a hunch.
That this group,
Must somehow form a family.
That's the way we became the Brady Bunch,
The Brady Bunch-.
That's the way we became the Brady Bunch.

I was born in 1953--and also was too young to serve in Vietnam and remember the news. Maybe the late-end of the Baby Boom should be expanded to include 1950-1955. Also, these were the first people who got to vote at 18, much like their younger siblings.

In junior high, I was in orchestra. Our orchestra director bought "Joy to the World" for our Christmas concert. It was the 3 Dog Night version when she thought it was the Christmas Carol. After much urging and begging, we were able to play it.

Hey, join the fun. There is really no cut off age, only if you feel like you weren't a "hippie" and into that 60's thing.

If you didn't have 8 track, Three Dog Night and Deep Purple's Machine Head, then you couldn't have lived in the '70's....or bought something from K-Tel.

"Great job on the Saturday morning cartoon thread today, Sabertooth! Was it your first thread?"Thanks. No it wasn't my first... I've posted about a dozen times, inclucing a couple of breaking news stories about Swedish Special Ops in the anti-terror coalition.

I stopped watching Brady Bunch after Robert Reed appeared in that disturbing episode of Medical Center, when Chad Everett turned him into a woman.
