Greatest pic of Deion Sanders ever. Loved this dude even though he went to Florida State. Best of all? Babyboomers HATED him.

I don't remember boomers hating Dion, but I do remember my dad, Greatest Generation, disgust at the showiness. But then that generation expected men to be men, and to be humble and quiet about yourself.
In my experience the "Greatest Gen" members didn't wear their showiness, but most sure wouldn't shut the hell up about why I and my not yet close-to-be-born great grandchildren should kiss their hands and thank them forever and ever.
I wonder if those that actually wrote the Declaration of Independence, and truly gave us freedom from England, expected this from younger generations? Or did they not wear it on their sleeves?
Maybe I'm just tainted? As a teenager I worked for a lot of WWII era folks who happened to be azzholes in the truest sense. One dickhead I dug ditches for always let me know how hard he had it at my age and how hard he had it in WWII. It turned out this now dead jackass never saw a minute of combat. He just wrenched on fighter planes so the real men of his generation could fly them into danger.
My dad rarely ever mentioned his army time. He graduated from high school in 1945 and just missed WWII, but he joined up to fight Koreans. He never actually saw combat due to flat feet and his father wrote a letter to Harry Truman - that's a story that my dad would NOT tell. My uncle did three tours in Vietnam and rarely said a word about it. His daughters knew absolutely nothing until "We Were Soldiers" came out, and I told them their dad fought in the Ia Drang Valley. I think the majority of The Greatest Generation was like this. Sorry you worked for such an ass.
