Someone posted all we gen X’ers feel Donny Osmond was under-rated.
Not true. No one of the gen X’ers including myself ever felt this.
He was a silly teen idol.
Michael Jackson was a national treasure.

Interesting comments about Michael Jackson. I just want to add how sad Jackson’s sudden death is. He was truly original and will be the ‘King of Pop’ for a long time to come.

I’m also a proud member of generation jones – though I’d never heard that term before this very moment. And how apt is that description of ‘our’ generation!

(confession – I found my way over here after you confessed your opinion that Donny Osmond was underrated. We are of a like mind on this.)

My baby sister >) shares that same birth year with Obama ( and George Clooney who most of us in Kentucky think of as a distant relation). I’ve never bought the mega-length of 1946-1964 span for boomers that I have always been given. That spread was based upon the downward shift in births I believe. Maybe it had something to do with childbearing age of the wives. When I was growing up it was common to have three or four siblings in a household.

I was born in 52 and no way in hell would I have hitched to Woodstock. My cousin and I bought the album with our babysitting money though.

Some car ad has been using “I’ll be There” for a while now. Every time I heard that sweet little boy MJ voice I smiled, even after the horror stories of the abusive childhood. Show biz is a strange world. Only the tough really survive. RIP, Michael.

I did in fact have a draft card. (I may still have it around here somewhere; rumors to the contrary notwithstanding, I did not actually burn it.)

As it turned out, Uncle Sam decided he needed my meager (at that age, anyway) talents in the Middle East, rather than along the Pacific Rim.
