The Baby Boomers are those born between 1946 and 1964. For those with lots of energy, you might call them "Zoomers". Sometime I feel like a zoomer and sometime I feel like an over-the-hill boomer. Usually, when I start listening to great  oldies like"The Twist"or"Roll Over Beethoven", I get pumped up and start zooming again.

There are many things that boomers have in common with other boomers. Most of us have enjoyed radio dramas like "Murder After Midnight", black and white TV and low tech games like checkers, crazy eights, monopoly and table hockey.

We've also enjoyed a much wider range of music than most other generations. On the page below, you'll find classic pop, "Side By Side" by Kate Starr, early bubblegum music, "Sherry" by The Four Seasons, a musical film novelty song, "Aba, Dabba Honeymoon" by Debbie Reynolds, a rare rock novelty tune, "I Go Ape" by Neil Sedaka, an anti-war protest song, "Where Have All The Flowers Gone" by The Kingston Trio.

There's also self-awareness music from "Both Sides Now" by Judy Collins and a popular religious song, "Turn Your Radio On" by Ray (funny man)Stevens.

One boomer wasn't like another boomer. Back in the 1960s, non-confromity was the dominating trend. "Where it's at for you dad, isn't necessarily where it's at for me".

Some boomers protested against the Vietnam war. Others were heavily into drugs, sex and rock and roll. Others took up new age religions like Scientology, Hare Krishna and the Unification Church (Moonies).

Star Trek started as a TV series and ended up as a science fiction cult.

Each boomer followed his/her inner path towards self fulfillment.

Many of us developed an eternally young headspace. Our parents who were born before the Second World War gradually aged and departed this world.

At this stage in life, we must come to grips with death and see beyond it.

We also have to come to grips with stockmarket losses and recover from them.

We must learn from our mistakes and keep in good physical and mental shape.

Boomers have much to give other generations. The internet makes it easier to "download" our experiences and insights.

Try searching on the internet for the objects, concepts and experiences in the song "Do You Remember These?" by the Statler Brothers below. Boomer realities can be your realities too.
