Who's whining?

That's assuming that he actually watched the video rather than simply read the blurb.

He's training for the march. With magnets and shit.

I think he was during the filming of that show, too. He looked a bit too- as I learned later- sweaty and puffy from the booze. A few of those guys did. I mean, they were playing a bunch of hard-patying WWII US Marine fighter pilots, but I doubt they were really employing the method.

No Baa Baa Black Sheep questions, either. I'm disappointed.

Like, hey, man, I haven't kept a penny since we levitated the Pentagon with Ginsberg back in '67, so, like, yeah, whatever.

Keep your copper tool of oppression, man. I'l take dimes any day!

All she adds is confirmation bias.

Oh, Jesus. Conway is about as convincing as Nathan Thurm.

Gen X is '65-'80 to '83. You can quantify the Boom- it was from '46 through '64, when the birth rates were above at or above the 1941, pre-war rates.

They raised peace activists along with Okie from Muskogee. Their big problem, beyond poor family planning skills, is that so many of them were Nixon's hardhat workers and Reagan Democrats.

The Nixon years were shitty because of all the lies. But at least Nixon sought detente with the Soviets and went to China. Reagan was scary because it seemed as if he loved the nuclear brinksmanship- and, ya know, seemed like he wanted to get rid of every benefit from the New Deal and Great Society eras.

I was born in '65, the first year of Gen X. When people my age turned 18, the well-paying union jobs were drying up. When people my age graduated from college with Bachelor's degrees, there was the recession caused by the S&L crisis. If we got lucky enough to get jobs, we mostly wasted away in entry-level jobs…

…And inflation, and the OPEC embargo, and the WFL, and a prime time television show with the title Almost Anything Goes.

I'm early enough in Gen X to remember when EVERYONE'S parents started divorcing. That was, uhm, fun. So was Nixon, the '72 Summer Olympic terrorist situation, leaded gasoline, white riots over bussing, daily Vietnam War body counts….Helluva a way to grow up.

"They elected Reagan, the Bushes, and Clinton…"

Nah. Those of us in Gen X- or at least those of us born near the beginning- really dislike Boomers and, if we think about it, the Boomers' parents from the Greatest Generation. Did those people not stop and think for a second what would be the outcome of having so many damned kids?

Hey, white boy, what you doing uptown?

My first 45 was Band On the Run, and my first LP was Magical Mystery Tour.

I've heard the potluck dinners aren't all that great, either.
