The Luckiest Generation
It rhymes with rumors
Boomers are moving into Independent Living facilities in America. They are making documentaries about their generation’s musical brilliance.
They are becoming vegetarians, swallowing nearly legal magic mushrooms, and filling CBD orders down at the strip mall.
They will mostly die out before our planet does, one more way they’ve been lucky.
American Boomers have been the luckiest, wealthiest generation to ever walk the planet. They are louder by far than their two predecessors: the aptly named Silent Generation and the possibly overrated Greatest Generation.
They overshadow GenX like a Great Dane next to a Chihuahua.
Here are all the ways they have been fortunate sons and daughters.
The Best Music
Boomers grew up just after Motown and the Beatles, but they had everyone from Hendrix to Janis Joplin to the Grateful Dead on their playlist.
Documentaries like 1971 and films like Love and Mercy chronicle the genius of this generation. They produced millions of copies of vinyl records that now sell on eBay for exorbitant sums.
Andy Williams and The Kingston Trio have long faded, but there is little doubt Joni Mitchell, Led Zeppelin…
