I feel bad for GenX'ers that missed out on the 60s and 70s.

Don’t feel sorry for Gen X-1965 1970 Gen Xer’s  got to experience many of those very acts during the early years of the 70’s and even into the 80’s. We also got to experience Punk (American and British) Arena Rock - The Who, Led Zepplin, , AC/DC, Van Halen, Boston, Iron Msiden, Black Sabath (Ozzy Ozbourne), Blondie, New Wave with Paul and Ringo John, Aretha and Tina Turner, Little Richard, Chuck Berry, Etc. So don’t great Boomer. We have been blessed with watching or listening to such a great mix of music and we grew up loving our country and proud of our WW 2 and Korea and Vietnam vets, you remember your fathers and mothers. So don’t feel bad for us Gen-Xers-we even listened to these amazing performances on vinyl oh I forgot Queen and Elvis. 

michaelsherry59 thanks for the laugh, I think I’m going to hangout on your lawn for awhile. You sound butt hurt. I sure as hell can state that Aretha, Diana Ross, Ray O, and the rest were within my generation performing. They may have started in your time, but they like all great musicians and singers transcend generations, and luck for Gen X were still performing well into their Golden years with amazing voices, we are the last best generation. We are the last generation that new analog music, bought vinyl and had some great FM radio stations before the destruction caused by satellite and streaming music services. 
We were the last generation for drive ins and good movies, the last generation to enjoy being a kid, and just living. Gen y will have had some experience but not like we did. Music makes memories and I have many memories seeing some great acts from the 60’s and many I missed due to tragic deaths. Way to keep an open mind Boomer I think your recliner is calling, no crank up that tv so you can hear it and have your microwave meal
