LOVE this! Personally I disagree with you on the music, everybody knows that MY generation, Generation X had the best music because the 0s ruled! LOL. I think every generation has a bias toward the anthems of their own coming of age.
Your generation paved the way for mine. We were the ones that brought down the Berlin Wall, ended Apartheid, etc. But none of that would have happened without you guys going first.
I'm almost 51 and I still wear mini skirts, just sayin' :)
