My sister is 67 and I just turned 62. Our differences are not generational, but the result of our timing and experiences during a time when the status quo was no longer acceptable. Both of us attended the University of Dayton where my sister and her friends wore coordinated outfits, were required to wear beanies as freshman, and loved the Kingston Trio. Just 5 years later, my class was wearing jeans and sandals, would have left school if someone had made us wear beanies, and loved the music and spirit of Woodstock.

Simple examples, but examples none the less of the transition that took place during the 60's and how it shaped the differences within a generation.

I am sorry you didn't like the Kingston Trio.
