There is a huge misconception that boomers only identify with Rock & Roll.
Yes, all of us were headlong into the R&R era, and we had a lot of wild times. But that does not mean we don’t dig anything else!
At a recent classical concert by the New York Philharmonic, the hall was choc-a-bloc with boomers! i.e. people in their early sixties and late fifties. That should tell people that we have grown out of R&R. But that does not mean that we are completely out of good ole rock and roll, does it?
Even today, there are millions of our generation who cannot resist tapping to the tune of a ‘Grease’ or ‘Saturday night disco’. And that , too, is how it should be. J
The changing cultural trends of the country are often and rightfully attributed to us boomers. No other generation in the history of this country has affected so much cultural change. And music is just one part of it. Disco, other forms of entertainment, and even stand up comedy - All are boomer phenomenon, and that is just one part of it. The art world in the USA has been witnessing unparalleled growth. And similarly, literature. Over the last few decades, there has been an outburst of tremendous talent in the field of writing. American authors are ruling the roost in all genres of writing and publishing.
Why are we talking about all these topics here today? Because a generation is often remembered by the contribution they make to their country’s culture. We remember our earlier generations thanks to American country music and we call film making the revolution of the early 1900s. So, that way, we have certainly done our bit for the country’s changing cultural trends, haven’t we?
