What a Long, Strange, Thoroughly Obnoxious Trip It's Been

recognition dammit. I tried my best to destroy America in the mosh pit.

You're a foreigner, it's to be expected.

[Valmy]

Well it should because they did.

How?  Besides to me the good old days were the early 90s.  Then Hip Hop got big and ruined America.

I thought this was more Seedy's theme?

The Boomer scapegoating is getting old.  I guess it never occured to me to think that a few kids partying down ruined our country forever.

I didn't get that out of the article at all. More that they annoyed the country forever.

Yeah I think Viking's probably had a few.

Only when he drops his persona and acts rational.

And mine.  I'm not sure which one of us hates the baby boomers more.

Exactly.

I agree:

They fuck you up, your mum and dad.
They may not mean to, but they do.
They fill you with the faults they had
And add some extra, just for you.

But they were fucked up in their turn
By fools in old-style hats and coats,
Who half the time were soppy-stern
And half at one another's throats.

Man hands on misery to man.
It deepens like a coastal shelf.
Get out as early as you can,
And don't have any kids yourself.

my generation is better than the boomers because we could see the Grateful Dead and Lollapalooza on the very same weekend. And we had MDMA, better pot, better birth control,  better tattoos... and touques.

Now if they would just retire, the pathway would be clear for GenX world dominance. After all, someone has to keep the twitteringtweens in their wageslave place.

Teens and young people don't like twitter....it's you old folks.   

[Darth Wagtaros]

True.  True.

I mostly disagree.  The Counter Culture and, arguably even worse, the Counter-Counter Culture that propelled Nixon came as close as anything to destroying the foundations of this country as anything since the Civil War, and we are still being hit by the repurcussions.  Just read Nixonland.  Hopefully we Millennials, side-by-side with our allies in Generation X, will bury the last of the Culture Warriors and sing merry dances on their graves.
