The real war on Christmas meets the Summer of Love
Ah, Boomers. They thought they destroyed it, now they're trying to rebuild it: "Real America."
As the spectre of mortality becomes more tangible, your parents, like so many others, are no doubt trying to reconcile the "sins" of their youth with the possibility of an unpleasant come-uppance in the afterlife. It's true: the abortion your mom had in high school, the dick your coked-up pops sucked during their brief period as "swingers" in '74- these are the memories that now haunt the classic-rock set, and they're afraid their children/grandchildren will behave similarly. They'll have enough to answer for at St. Peter's velvet rope.
Couple this with consistently losing wars, Communists in China owning our asses- not to mention the disappearance of "real" cars and "real" music, it's no wonder they've had a change of heart. Luckily, they still have their precious Harleys- God Bless America!
The real joy for those of us in younger generations will be to see the Boomers in diapers, drooling on themselves, desperately clinging to "life in the Golden Years," -just like 'Ol Ronnie, Our Great Cowboy.
Idiots-shoulda voted for assisted suicide.
