Reflections On Being A
Boomer |
| |
|
This year, the first wave
of Baby Boomers will be turning 60. In honor of this
milestone, let's take a look at Boomer generation through the eyes
of history.
You know you are a Boomer if:
You were born between 1946 and 1964.
The Mickey Mouse Club once seemed like something that
would be cool to join.
You had friends who swore they were at Woodstock, even
if they weren't.
You adored, or hated Elvis long before he got pudgy and
wore sequins.
You first noticed Jack Nicholson as a drunken Southern
lawyer in Easy Rider.
You remember the jolt, as a child or teen, of learning
about a leader's assassination.
Cigarette ads on TV once seemed normal, except maybe
"I'd rather fight than switch."
The first time you heard about Vietnam, you weren't sure
what or where it was.
You were good at hula hoops, but nowhere near as good as
that other kid.
You used correctotype, or something similar, to fix
typos on your term papers.
You knew someone at school eerily like Leave It To
Beaver wise guy Eddie Haskell.
You thought Neil Young turning 60 was bad.
