The name G. Gordon Liddy rang a bell when I came across the post. I suspect that when I recognized the name I was showing my age (I am 64 years old)-the Watergate scandal was decades ago.
The same day I rewatched Airplane, which I saw in the theater back in 1980. I noticed a few references made that may now be obscure to young adults, who grew up afterwards. But I haven't asked any, because I don't really know any at this point.
Why is this relevant? It occurred to me that a twenty-year-old won't remember September 11th. And a forty-year-old won't remember the events of the Boom Awakening. Part of generational turn over would be people simply having no personal memories of key events or turning moods.
