American Baby Boomers are a rare breed. They were blessed to have lived during a time when Americans were free to express themselves through sit-ins, marches, protests, demonstrations, bra-burning, and the Beatles.
Baby Boomers experienced an avalanche of 20th and 21st Century hysteria. They have few regrets!
- They invented technology.
- They paid into their pensions and Social Security. Their benefits are well earned.
- Don’t ask Baby Boomers how things were in their day. This is their day!
- They know their grammar: ie, “They gave a party for Kanye and me”, (not Kanye and I).
- They enjoy tv shows like Dexter, Mad Men, Scandal, Empire, HTGAWM, The Voice, etc. (Sean Connery is the ONLY James Bond!)
- They RULE social media.
- Despite civil rights marches and anti war protests, the feminist movement, and Woodstock, they still hold on to old school respect, old school values, and they display impeccable manners.
- You can’t fool them when it comes to sex.
- You can’t fool them when it concerns drugs;
- And you damn sure can’t fool them about rock and roll.
Love it! 😀 We had it all – Mods & Rockers, the Fab Four, The Stones (R&B the 2nd generation!), Woodstock, Flower power, MOOG synthesisers, Pink Floyd, Heavy Metal, Glam Rock, Punk, New Romantics, Hillbilly Rock, Two-tone… and David Bowie through everything! lol
