“There will always be people who don’t understand the past; but there will always be keepers of the flame who will never let the greats of yesteryear die.”
Yeah, greats like Chuck Berry, Bobby Vinton, Elvis Presley, Buddy Holly, Doris Day, etc.
I’m here laughing my ass off. Boomers are *expecting* that people respect their music?
Hah!
The Beatles are great, but the didn’t *invent* anything. It was already there when they got there, and it carried on just fine after they left.
Those are all of the same generation as the Beatles except for Doris Day, who missed the Beatle's generation by 9 months. None of them, including the Beatles were boomers. Except for DD, they were all of Jane Fonda's/William Ayer's generation.
Honestly, I don’t know what you’re talking about. What a farango of mixed talents - Doris Day and Bobby Vinton!
Are you honestly unaware of the good music of Chuck Berry and Elvis and Buddy Holly? And I won’t go near the wonderful band singer Day (as well as a great film star). As far as I know, none of these folks were “boomers,” although certainly Buddy Holly was taken up by the boomers thanks to the influence of another excellent talent: Don McClean. Hope I spelled his name right.
You non-boomers have got to get over some of your anger. My generation also fought in Viet Nam as I remember; and did a pretty good job despite the hell they received.
