The one thing that all of these generational things always miss is that not all boomers are the same.
Case in point...I'm a 70's teenager, actually I'm from the "Dazed and Confused" generation,we thought hippies were too peacenik and punkers were too harsh,we started driving when all you could find was $2 worth of gas and had to wait in line for it,tv was "Watergate",All in the Family or the ABC Movie of the Week, a 71 Chevelle could be had for $1200 bucks, N.Y. City was declaring bankruptcy, popular music of the time was ELP,Zeppelin,Aerosmith,Humble Pie,T Rex,Jethro Tull, good smoke came from Colombia or Lebanon, The Mustang II was an ugly abomination, a portable TV weighed 60 pounds and the handle in the top of the set always broke the first time one tried to lift it and the popular kitchen color was "Avocado".

We are the forgotten boomers.
