Born in the wrong generation

Don't you ever feel like you were born fifty years too late?

Yupp, I was born to live through the 60s. The music, the lifestyle, the clothes. Ahh, I'm so jealous of my Mum.

Actually, yeah. I would have loved to go to the first Woodstock, I actually dream it, but what are you going to do.

only if you're cherry picking the aspects of the past you'd like to live through.

yeah the music of the late 60s was awesome, how about the impending recession, unpopular wars, socially acceptable racism, socially acceptable sexism.

how awesome would it really be? ...

Jeez, wet blanket much. But I see where your coming from.. If I was to nit-pick though, I'd go see The Beatles, The Stones and The Kinks all live. Maybe a bit of Otis Redding too

wars which were about to end and racism which was about to be eliminated and sexism which was about to also be eliminated

that's actually really awesome now that i think of it, to have experienced the massive social changes firsthand

Considering that I married outside my race, no.

about being the key word. it's easy to look back and to recognize that those social ills were about to start being rectified, i doubt things were so obvious while rioting in the streets though.
