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.

I’m not angry, simply bemused. The generation that was all about crapping on the stuff that came before their time now wants to have the things they care about remembered.

I’m not saying you did or do, but you must find that ironic. Yeah, some boomers weren’t like this, but most were. The same ones that inflicted all the hippy garbage on the rest of us.

The only war that the US lost, btw. Good job.

At least mine has won two, and you wanna know something? We ain’t going to bail.
