Actually, I'm not really a boomer. I'm more of 70s me-generationer. I was born on the tail end of boomer-dom, sort of; too young to burn my draft card, too young to travel to Woodstock, but old enough to remember Manson, the Tate murders, Altamont, all fascinating stuff I read about in the town newspaper I was delivering on my red Schwin. I was much more interested in the latest Marvel comics than political causes until I was around 17 or 18, and hippies were people in far off places like the state's university campuses, and all my friends and I made fun of them while secretly wishing we had the balls to stand up to our parents and tell them we weren't getting haircuts anymore.

Think Wonder Years. I was that kid.
