177. The cultural domination of the Boomers makes us non-Boomers chafe
For as long as I can remember (I'm 40) the Boomers have dominated the culture in a very obnoxious way.
Why do you think Woodstock looms so large in the culture? Well, when one sees that it was planned by east coast media/power elite, attended by what became the east coast media/power elite and lionized by the east coast media power/elite it is a bit of an one note band.
Woodstock the concert was a flop - but they had rights to movies and records. Thaty was commodified and relentless pushed to consumptioon.
If one object, then one is jealous (the Paris Hilton defense) or one hates their parents (my parents were not Boomers).
As someone once said around here: The Boomers went from blaming their parents to blaming their children.
