Well, we've been trained from our earliest days to be where we are today. The crush has been harder and harder as we've gone through the 20th Century, and blaming Boomers is just one more tiptoe through the tulips of Divide & Conquer.

It's always been the case that youngsters don't have any idea what it feels like to be old, while oldsters know exactly what it's like to be young. That is played on us like a bad record, scratches and all (remember how music used to sound? Now it's mostly NOISE, sorry kids, but... no. And that is done on purpose, too. Play some good 60's rock n roll for college students of today, and voila, they like it, too! Well, not to harp on the subject, but most music I hear the kids playing today isn't music, it's noise. There's no TUNE, just a beat that can be danced to like robots would.

Okay, sorry, I went off on a tangent, because I'm a musician.

But you know, all this setting us against each other... I'm SICK of it! I am SICK of all the LIES LIES LIES LIES LIES, I am SICK of the nastiness and the fuckery and the skanky and perversity of the recent times. Our Littles are apparently in serious danger, with troubles like REFUSING to tie their own shoes (all made of PLASTIC now), and eating the gut-killing garbage that is ubiquitous in the US, full of toxic waste...

OKAY, I've started an avalanche... NO! I blame you, Rob D, for starting it!! You OLD people!!!

oh, wait. I'm old, too. shit.

Oh, I had a lovely little wake-up moment a few days ago... Somewhere I read something along the lines of, "We don't have to stop them, or fight them, or do ANYTHING about them, we simply ignore them and do not comply." Well, YEAH. I remember thinking this in 2020. Okay, I may yet recover... Where's my CSNY? Or Mozart? Bring on the OLD stuff. It's fathomable. xo

I refuse to accept any "boomer blame". While many horrible things were set in motion during my lifetime, none of it, NONE, was done or supported by me, and ALL was done by those who have been given way too much power and control, simply because "the majority" were to lazy to accept personal responsibility. The "shouldn't there be a law against it?" crowd hold the bulk of the blame, not any generation.

Thanks Rob.
