I guess a lot of folks–for many reasons, some of them justified–are kind of sick of us Boomers.

There are so damned many of us–blame it on the polio vaccine–and we seem to be unwilling to get out of the way of younger people, the ones who should be running things.

But hold on, please, for just a minute.

What nobody can deny is that our generation was graced with incredible music. Whatever our faults, there’s the music.

For example, look at the reaction of this beautiful young woman, Emma, to Bobby Hatfield’s just-as-beautiful “Unchained Melody.”

This is the first time she’s heard the song.

(There are other videos like this one on YouTube. They are a joy to watch.)

And here, as I watch her and hear Hatfield, I am joyful, too.
