TV Generation

Like it or not, we "Baby Boomers" are also "The TV Generation"... We have invited hundreds, maybe thousands of people into our homes via TV and radio. We sort of feel like they are family, and when people like Don Knotts pass away, we grieve... Someday Jerry Mathers (The "Beaver") will pass away, and then I will *really* feel old. There are a lot of cultural icons from the 60's and 70's who are getting up there in years, so brace yourself.

I found a handy tool for answering that morbid "dead or alive" question. Because sometimes you just want to know who is just out of the limelight and who won't be coming down for breakfast. Here's the website.

The most recent entry is Gene Pitney. He sang overwrought pop hits of the 60's like "24 Hours from Tulsa". He passed away in a hotel room while on tour. I think he would have wanted it that way.
