I can relate to this! I was born in 1962 and I don't remember Woodstock or much of anything else in the 1960's. I got my Drivers Licence in 1978, the year of the second OPEC oil shock. I have never owned a muscle car and I don't want one. I have always driven small 4 cylinder vehicles, I have never owned a 6 or 8 cylinder car or truck. I would rather have a 124 then a Corvette, I am more impressed with horsepower from tech then I am with horsepower from displacement... "Old" music for me is late 70's or early 80's... and today I listen to modern Alternative/Indie rock.1958 so what they sometimes refer to as "Generation Jones" (a tail end Boomer on the cusp of Gen X). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generation_Jones
To be honest, I always identified more with Gen X than the Boomers who I always thought were suffering a 60s fixation. LOL

Thanks, I will check them out...Gee....we are alike.
I think it's neat that Gen Jones got its own Gen, because most of the people I know in the 1957-63 range are most definitely different to the Boomers
I have friends in Brisbane who have an Alt/Indei Rock Band called Generation Jones. You'll find them on YouTube.![]()
What form does your artistry take Jim?I'm 59. I have great appreciation for the 1960's counterculture, even though I was a kid at the time. I'm a contemporary artist, which helps keeps my view of reality fresh and present. Hey, so does the 124.
