Minute Rant

A REAL JOURNALIST who I used to know back in the 1980s, a reporter on a small town newspaper  said that our generation was so obsessed with itself that she expected there to eventually be a TV series called Eightysomething.  The idea of conforming to the commercially designated characteristics of those in your age cohort is stupid.    I don't recall if it was before or after that that I said that I fully expected greedy Mick Jagger and his old stones would be doing  The Oxygen Tank Tour.   

I've got a really bad cold just now, the kind that makes someone my age wonder if it's worth recovering,  last night these two items from my past came up because I was toying with the idea of writing a bold new statement for what they will insist is "my generation"  The Joy of Expectorants.   I'd rather have expectorants than sex at my age.   Anyone  who says they wouldn't is lying. Or dead.  

I've always been skeptical of the designation of "generations" like they used to in Life Magazine or Time Magazine, I've never felt any especial comradeship with people who happened to have been born in the years near when I was born.  Not when we were young, not today.   I don't know how much The Who's album and song of that title clarified what bullshit that was  I suspect I scoffed at the title at the time.   I really wasn't paying all that much attention to that stuff, back then. 

That's as much of a rant as I can work up just now.   I am deleting troll droppings without reading them,  that might `be a new policy.   I don't care what fascists and Nazis and Republicans and white supremacist incel boys who are getting less sex than I do these days have to say.  

Update:  I have little to no use for Piers Morgan but I have to hand it to him,  he's the one who got that uber-incel boy Nick Fuentes to admit he's a 27 year old virgin.   I finally heard that part of the interview - I won't sit through more than a couple of minutes of Piers Morgan and especially Fuentes - and wondered if that would put off his audience.   But I'd bet that Fuentes fan boys are as virginal as he is.  It's so funny that those little schmucks think the way to meet Women is to sit in front of a computer and whine to each other about their virginity, blaming it on Women who have some self respect.  They're as stupid as that.
