Accepting Credit When NONE is Due

I've never exaggerated when I've said that the boomers greatest contribution to music is Disco.
Still, if the thought of kids getting high and rolling in the mud still gets you upset, 40 years later, it might help to know that although the Woodstock audience was mostly Baby Boomers, the musicians who played at Woodstock were not. They were part of what Time Magazine once dubbed the Silent Generation -- hardworking, mild-mannered and dispassionate. A cohort that included those born in the early 1940s such as Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Jerry Garcia and most of the other rock stars of the 1960s. Silent indeed.
