JOBS FOR
STILL CRAZY AFTER ALL THESE FEARSHappy Trails
Over the last few years I have thoroughly enjoyed putting my daily thoughts down in writing for people to see. Many have commented on the fact I had something to say every day. I still do but some days I'm not sure people would enjoy knowing what is running around inside my head. I keep waiting for the humor to come back. When it doesn't, I remain silent. This has been ongoing over the last few months but it must end. If I'm to write a regular column, it should be relevant and current.

BOOMERNET CHRONICLESample Year
According to popular definition, the last of the Baby Boomers is born in 1964. At the same time, many of the oldest Boomers are heading off to college. The Beatles lead the British invasion of America, while the new Johnson administration explores expanding our military role in Vietnam. Important legislation includes the Civil Rights Act and the Tonkin Gulf Resolution, both turning points in American history.
The cost of gas increases to $0.30 per gallon, but Americans are more interested in going to the movies to see "My Fair Lady" and "Mary Poppins" or staying home to watch "Bonanza" or the "Dick Van Dyke Show".
BOOMERNET TOP 40Hits of 1960 - 1964
In the early '60's, the AM airwaves became dominated by the driving rhythyms of Detroit's Motown sound, by the polished stylings from the Brill Building scene in Manhattan, and by Phil Spector's L.A.-based derivative, the Wall of Sound.
Song-writing teams like Holland - Dozier - Holland in Detroit and Goffin & King or Barry & Greenwich in New York churned out hit after hit. Their success later paled, however, beside that of Liverpool's Lennon & McCartney. When the Beatles began the British Invasion of America at the end of 1963, popular music would never be the same.
