baby boomers

from kurt cobains diaries:
I like to blame my parents generation for coming so close to social change then giving up after a few successful efforts by the media & Government to deface the movement by using Mansons and other Hippie representatives as propaganda examples on how they were nothing but unpatriotic, communist, satanic, inhuman diseases. and in turn the baby boomers become the ultimate, conforming, Yuppie hypocrites a generation has ever produced.

so true. so true.

Kurt's historical opinion of the dwindling out of the peace & hippy movement isn't especially origional.

I firmly belive that if you are political - go do something about it! Mouthing off does diddly. If Kobain hadn't wussed out on his drug pain, imagine what a spokesperson he could have been. How many more marchers do you think would have tagged along to Bono's - "pay back world debt" movement if Kurt simply turned up and waved from the podium in a stripey sweater? - A WHOLE BUNCH! (I would say in the UK you could atribute say, 1/2 a million extra marchers on a fair day...)

We in turn, can blame his trigger finger for a chance ALSO thrown away....

make a difference, do nothing or whine.....

You choose

He copped out.

which is better? copping out or being assimilated?

no, its not an original thought... i have thought the same thing of the baby boomers for quite a long while, probably before nirvana even hit the scene.

i do find the idea of them trading their vw vans in for beamers incredibly funny.
