Baby Boomers Can't Get No Satisfaction

Finally, someone's shares my views on the "baby boomer" mystique. It's a myth. A well-orchestrated, marketing much ado about nothing. Boomers are not one big, happy, homogenous demographic behemoth. It's insulting to think so. While we're all not the same, we do share some sensibilities. Like,

"WHAT WAS THE NFL THINKING WHEN THEY CHOSE THE ROLLING STONES TO HOST THE HALF-TIME SHOW?"

Ellen Goodman said it better than I in describing how "Super Bowl XL is now officially the site of the first successful protest movement of the aging baby boomers: for the right to rock 'n' roll."

"The truth is that baby boomers have never had much more in common than a date book. The folks who turn 60 this year are as different as Bill Clinton and George Bush, Donald Trump and Cher. Even if boomers share a fascination with their aging process, aging itself may be as individualistic as a set of genes.

"...Those who were not Mick Jagger at 26 aren't going to be Mick Jagger at 62. Nevertheless, it would be refreshing if this generation, well beyond its own halftime, got together at long last to protest something more meaningful than equal access to a rock concert."
