It is one of the greatest, if not the greatest, unrecognized popular music masterpieces of the period. When it was released we were rid of Nixon, but we would not be rid of the Vietnam war for another four years. For some of us it was a piece to hold on to emotionally while napalm continued to burn the skin off of Vietnamese civilians.
"As it is, If I Could Only Remember My Name is a shambolic masterpiece, meandering but transcendently so, full of frayed threads." Stanton Swihart, Allmusic, February, 1971

Jealously or envious of my age group it seems. Ours being a driving force for so long. Now they are freaking at the forking out, paying for us as we age. Healthcare costs Social Security and seeing the world we have left them. Knowing their future is uncertain and troubled.
HA! Like mine was not!
I can see how someone could be pissed. Yes I do see it.
It is just like today had a sprinkler go bad when watering. Being a Boomer knew how to fix it and had the spare parts saved from another head. When a younger person would of bought a new one. The younger generation! I know this has been said a thounsand years ago or more....
See it almost weekly someone younger by many years almost angry at us in are later years. Thinking I still can't count or remember what was quoted!

Punks who want some mythical life that doesn't include hard fucking work can kiss my gray haired wrinkled and broke down ass.

Most of the guys mentioned in this article are Baby Boomers.
Seriously, memes like this just make a lot of people dislike Boomers even more

The ridiculous part, of course, is generalizing some list of individuals to a 'generation.' But agree that the meme is divisive, could be part of the 'let's you and him fight' campaign.

And shaming somebody for hairstyles? Where have I seen that before?
Remember, the first generation of Punks are Boomers (although John Lydon is now a Trumper). They had purple hair then, just not now.
I advise anybody who thinks Boomers are so wonderful to talk to somebody who is in their 20s or 30s struggling to get by in a gig economy (since Boomers sent so may jobs overseas) can only dream of owning a home, and will inherit a planet so fucked up by climate change that's it's going to be impossible to reverse, but hey the boomers were getting rich so who gives a shit?
Don't get me started on how the wealthy boomers skated away free in the real estate fiasco of the early 2000's
