That made me think, and I have to disagree, Tom, though not with any particularly strident feelings.

No generation before ours (boomers) propelled so many musicians, actors, artists, et al, to such heights of global fame and fortune. We MADE the record industry! Add that we were the first to be raised with TV, then the #'s of famous people we "know" is even bigger....

We are also a generation fond of overestimating its importance, in this case expressed as its 'firstness'.

Should we now brace ourselves for a spate of temporal adjectives?
