I've been searching for information regarding the baby boomers generation. Everything I find is about today in age, but this is not what I am looking for. Mainly I am researching the technological developments and racial diversity during this time period, which I believe goes from 1945-1965. Links to websites where I can find this information or other databases would be very helpful, I have already checked wikipedia but had no luck finding what I was looking for.
When SNL aired for the first time in late 1975 my parents were absolutely dumbfounded by it. They couldn't get over the irreverent themes--a sitting president spoofed, drugs, heavy drinking, --they felt the Carol Burnett Show was funnier.
But SNL hit a cord with me, and the kids my age. Also, my teachers, many of them just out of college were enamored by SNL. Every monday kids on the bus and home room went on and on about the SNL program the previous Saturday. At Halloween everyone wanted to be a Killer Bee or a Samaria.
My parents eventually banned SNL from our family TV dismissing it as juvenile and irrelevant.
But for me, SNL was the first show for me and my generation. It heralded in the Disco era and the Baby Boomers generation.
I need a good article on how much language differences get in the way between youth and the baby boomers generation interaction. Please help, I cant find anything anywhere.
