I've always said you can't put people whose defining musical experience was the Beatles and Woodstock in the same basket as peile who were defined by punk and disco. Or people whose defining political experience was Kennedy optimism and civil rights and counter-culture movements with people who were defined by Nixon and Watergate cynicism and distrust. You get two very different cultural reference points that shape peoplein very different ways.
Happy was the person who introduced that label to me. Not very hit on it, but I'll take it over "late boomer" any day.
(My step father was an early boomer (born in 47) and the notion that we belonged to the same generation always struck me as something incongruent.)
