I remember hearing the 1970s referred to as "the decade that style forgot." Looking back at old photos, I have to agree.

My husband will go to his grave, swearing he was NOT wearing a brown leisure suit in his 1976 high school yearbook!!!

You can always count of the EVIL TWIN to get you in trouble?

According to that list, I'm a Boomer, but seeing as I got none of the "benefits" or attitudes Boomers got, I count myself as a Gen-Xer - born in the second half of 1964, and don't thing a few months is enough to make me part of one generation over another!

I understand that. In a lot of ways, I identify with the Boomer generation, too, even though I'm clearly an X'er by birth. It's because my parents were much older than my friends parents. They were both in their 40's when I was born.

So even though all my friends parents went to Woodstock, let us watch Hair and Jesus Christ Superstar with them and did the Hustle ... my parents remembered the Great Depression, were raised with no electricity or running water, and did not have a car for most of their childhoods. VASTLY different morals and values were imparted, believe me.

Hair is one of my favorite musicals.

I've heard myself described as Gen X (1966) but also as "star X" because I was born as the baby boom was trailing off. Both of my siblings are definitely boomers.

I love it. I used to work with someone who unwisely revealed that when he first started work in the late seventies, he wore a brown 3-piece suit (flared trousers, obviously), sort of coffee-coloured shirt, and a wide, wide tie with a HUGE knot. And he had a lot of hair. I spent about seven years trying to get a photograph out of his wife, but I never did manage it.

Born in 59 so this year I will turn the nifty 50. Have you heard 50 is the new 38. I was and am so a head banger, Zepplin, Stones, AeroSmith, Beatles, Bowie, Queen, Doors. Old but still a rocking.
