There was logic behind the madness, even if we rolled our eyes back then. Here are rules that once seemed ridiculous but now feel like strokes of genius.

Baby Boomers and Things that will not survive once the Baby Boomers are gone.

PE class for us Baby Boomers was hard-core! For the class jocks, it was the one guaranteed A. For the rest of us, it was like a horrible social experiment gone wrong. It was 45 minutes of humiliating torture that left us sweaty, smelly, and out of breath for the next class and reinforced Darwin’s concept of survival of the fittest. From the unflattering gym uniforms and communal showers to the endless laps demanded by our frustrated what to be NFL coach PE teacher, gym class is one high school memory most of us would prefer to forget.

Some say art imitates life, then again others say life imitates art. This is the case with us Baby Boomers. Because, by in large, Baby Boomers were the first youth movement to fight for racial equality. As the Baby Boomers began to march and made their voices heard, Hollywood soon followed. So, sit back and listen to some of the movies that influence us Baby Boomers, and the movies that were influence by the Baby Boomers.

With the arrival of February comes Presidents Day, Valentine’s Day, but most important the Super Bowl is played. But Baby Boomers half time show was much different than today’s half time shows. Baby Boomers got to see, Marching Bands, Hot Air Balloons, Jet Pack Rocket Men, and 3D glasses. They just don’t make half time shows let they use to for us Baby Boomers. (And thank goodness they don’t)

It is often stated that art imitates life. Well, this is the case for us Baby Boomers when it comes to the cult classic A Christmas Story. We Baby Boomers can relate to the BB Gun Obsession, The Dangerous Triple Dog Dare, the ‘Boys Will Be Boys’ Attitude, Kids Left Unsupervised, Overindulging in Soap Punishment, and the culturally insensitive, “Chinese Restaurant” Scene. So, sit back and listen to what it was like growing up as a Baby Boomer.
