Timothy Leary seems prophet to me. Oral Roberts seems extremely like the Silent Generation to me, especially the first half. Manson seems like a proto Xer. Do you have the same impressions?

BTW Bayard Rustin was GI.

Similar to Timothy Leary was GI Alan Watts (b. 1915), who was kind of a proto-Boomer in that his philosophy anticipated the Awakening. He has become heavily memed in our time. He made a lot of great speeches which you could find online.
