How did this baby boomer stuff start here in the first place? Did I miss something?
How did this baby boomer stuff start here in the first place? Did I miss something?
After today's tragic news about Greg, all I can say is "Hold on, John!!" Beat this thing!!
not bad. I took a weird generational differences training course once and it called them linksters that was a few years ago and it doesn't seemed to have taken off.
but the general idea with the new generation is they have had the internet their entire lives so something with technology seems appropriate.
No idea ...I always thought that Baby Boomers were those born just after WW2 , but yesterday on BBC radio they said that ... that generation were those born in the late 50s and the 60s ....I was born in 1967 so now I am a Baby Boomer !! Wow !
Anyway on the Beeb they said that Baby Boomers were suffering from high rates of heart attacks, depression, alcoholism and STDs ...oh bugger...can I go back to being part of Generation X which I think I was a member of in the 1990s ?!?!

Thank God for that!!...how much will it cost me ?
I met Douglas Coupland once .....nice guy and he is older than me and is bald ...I still have a full head of hair...but he writes better books !! Well to be fair he writes books...the only thing I write is my shopping list !!

Off topic !!!
I would´t mind if you all baby boomers would open another thread with just that topic and stay on topic (yes, it is John Wetton´s health) here.
Interviewer of reprobate ne'er-do-well musicians of the long-haired rock n' roll persuasion at: www.velvetthunder.co.uk and former scribe at Classic Rock Society. Only vaguely aware of anything other than music.

Well ..okay but I think every poster here on this thread has commented at some stage on John's health...the thread started off with worrying comments that in recent updates on Twitter John looked very gaunt ...but the news currently looks very good for John and he will be touring with Asia next year which is great to hear. There really is nothing else to say about his health except we wish him well and are happy to hear of his progress. The stuff about Baby Boomers was an occasional aside and hurt no one !!
Scooped from the Crim FB; hope it shows up...
That's a great photo of Wetton with Wallace Shawn!
They both look pretty damned happy, which is great.
