Just wanted to say that the year 1982 is made up or your using the baby act of 83 as a line in history, but thats the boomers. If you want to know when the new gen began, it was when I was born, Aug 1981. Why this date? Look at it like this, if multimedia and tech, global awareness, and music greed are a crutch of my gen, it began then why? That year MTV was launched and culture to me and to anyone since, the world was always global.

In the "Valley Girl" coloring book (yes, that one, by Moon and Frank Zappa) there is one page featuring a UFO like balloon (or perhaps a UFO) with a lit up sign, high over The Valley, stating: "Wife Swap Wednesday."

Yes indeed, the sexual revolution at home with the kids.

We bought my dad one of those Bill Griffith "The 40 Year Old Hippie" comics from some place in North Beach for his 40th – it was very close to reality. The sad scene of a real Silent Gen eclipsing Hawkeye Pierce in terms of wanna be radical-ness.

Dave,
I think the table not got filled up b/c we aren't thinking hard enough. Our heroes are unlikely people. They defy traditional stereotypes. I still think the best is yet to be.
