Excellent. I found the comment about them becoming massively right wing spot on. The Boomers were supposed to be the Great Left Hope, but as they aged all that sloganeering flew right out the window. Johnny Carson reruns play on Antenna TV, it's an interesting look into the times. One had Selma Diamond on after Reagan's election (not sure if it was 1 or 2) basically bitching about how you can't trust anyone under 30. I took it that the boomers broke decisively for Reagan.
