I was skimming Newsweek<\/EM> last night and came across an article about how the fashions of the boomers are making a comeback.  A few weeks ago, Newsweek<\/EM>‘s cover story was on sex and boomer women.  Now, I have nothing against boomers as people.  After all, I’m the child of boomers.  But the boomer stranglehold on our culture must end.  We don’t need another Rolling Stones album.  We don’t need the return of shoulder pads.  And we definitely don’t need any more articles breathlessly praising boomers for being the saviors of American pop culture.  Yes, they made some good music.  They gave us the Peace Corps.  But honestly, they made a mess of things; messes that will take generations to clean up.  The least they can do is stop inundating us with remakes of Bewitched<\/EM> and Charlie’s Angels<\/EM>. <\/DIV>
