Growing up Boomer

Baby Boomers and Godzilla

Godzilla, the iconic monster of the film industry, has been captivating audiences since its debut in 1954. And us Baby Boomers couldn’t get enough of Godzilla’s destructive power and larger-than-life presence. Godzilla is the franchise of franchises and has spawned numerous films, spin-offs, and reboots, making it a pillar of Baby Boomer pop culture.
And as Godzilla would say
“LET’S GET READY TO CRUMBLE”

Baby Boomers and 1960’s Baseball

Much like the rest of American society, the early sixties in baseball were just like the late 50s. The Yankees were winning, Mickey Mantle was playing well, and the world was turning as it should. That was until 1965, in which America and the baseball world were turned upside down. The wheels completely fell off the Yankee bus and the rest of Major League Baseball took over. For us young Baby Boomers baseball was an escape from a troubling world filled with war, civil rights movement and nuclear annihilation.

Baby Boomers and Rodney Dangerfield

Rodney Dangerfield used to claim that, all his life, he never got any respect at all. Well, I guess you can call us Baby Boomers the exception, because the countless one-liners that this stand-up icon conceived are absolutely nothing short of comedy gold as far as us Baby Boomers are concerned.

Baby Boomers and Beatle songs that never made number one in the US

The Beatles are, well, what can we really say that isn’t obvious? They are probably the biggest band ever. And very influential to us Baby Boomers, and yet, that isn’t the end of the Beatles’ quality output. In fact, there are great songs from the Fab Four that were never chart-toppers in the United States. But ask any Baby Boomer and we’ll tell you that all their great songs were number one. As I’ve said in the past and I’ll say again. The older we get, the better we were.
