Spout #100 .
I'm a Boomer born in civil rights 60's,
'pubertized' in the 70's,
'colleged' in the 80's,
'careered' in the 90's, 00's and 10's.
Now the 20's, but feels like the 60's on replay.
Am I wrong?
If u have ability, help those who are coming along after us.
They'll need it🙏🏽

exact same time trajectory as you - and yep they will need it! on our watch we let everything slip, and man 'o man it's been a painful slide.

Marvin was ahead of his time. He Knewww what he was crooning about! 😍

I’m ten years ahead of you on that schedule. And I feel like I’m living a rerun! Youth protests, civil rights, corrupt president, fraught elections, abortion rights battles….and I think our grandparents lived through something similar. How do we break the cycle?

Madam, I confess I don't have a concrete answer.
My hope is we continue to work on this experiment called democracy, and we continue to have 'helpers' show up when we need them most.
If this happens we can embrace the fact We are one love. 🙏🏽

We step up. We are in a better position than the kids are. If we do not support the institutions that support wholesome equality we go back to the 40’s. Time to make the changes as we are able

I was born in the 50’s. We’re coming full circle but this time, the younger generation isn’t fighting back
alone. The media forgets that not all seniors are glued to Fox/Newsmax/OANN and a good percentage of us are as liberal now as we were back then. Hell, my 97 year old aunt still marches!

Valid points, and pls tell your Aunt that John Shaft has a crush on her righteous protesting marching self! 👊🏾

I am in the same boat. I thought I was born too late but this is my time. I now have wisdom to go with the passion of the hippy

I understand. I'm one guy away from holding court as "the old guy in the barber shop".
I will embrace becoming an Elder 💛.
We all love HIppies👍🏽

Me, too! I was a little too young during the 60’s but not now!! ✊

I remember reading years ago a sentence I never forgot. I'm sorry I can't remember who wrote it, and I'm paraphrasing: Has it ever been that times weren't hard and there was enough money?

Your spout and Marvin Gaye’s song and words are so on point and relevant for what’s going on now, so many years later…
One of my favorite songs. 🎶

Inner city blues is also as poignant and relevant now as then.

I feel the same way. hope we come out on the other side in one piece and better for the trauma.

Not easy to balance gratitude on the other end of the same teeter-totter as all the stuff that splatters in the gutter, but it has sure been harder.

I was also born in the 60's and no you're not wrong. It feels like the country is going backwards to the KKK, lynching, women had few rights days. MAGA: before 1960=America was white, Republican and male, let's do that again

Awesome song/singer. We are what is called the Jones generation, not really boomer (too young) and not really Gen X (too old). Although growing up in the 70s 80s was wonderful I agree we are being dialed back to the 40s 50s.

Appreciate your thoughts.
I think if our education system accurately taught history many lessons could have been learned and applied. But here we are...

We must be about the same age; all the decades and feelings now are the same.

Awesome song, right along with What's Going On, my two favorites of his.
