11. Sure they do. They become Emeriti
But they never stop going to 'work' until they die. Keeping themselves involved is what probably makes them live very long lives.

9. The Beatles and Dylan were born before the boom
So it may be true that boomers made them popular, but the actual musicians aren't boomers, so that's my loophole.

As for New Wave, :puke: Like disco, it still sucks after all these years.

10. I was just gonna post that. Dylan and the Beatles are not boomers. That said...
there are some boomer musicians who are really great. I like Springsteen, for example.

12. It's no accident that boomer rhymes with consumer
they always seem to overlook the fact the icons who they consumed were not boomers themselves...
