I think I have the perfect name for us! Bradyboomers!
The baby boom ended in 1962. It lasted from about 1946-62. The Gen-X group begins about 1973 or 74. We in the middle were called the baby bust because of the invention of the birth control pill. I was born in 65 just when the birth rate bottomed out...so I guess it's a good thing I was a successful attempt!
Did anyone else grow up with Laura Ingalls on Little House and follow her courtship with "Manly" every week?
some bushy-headed blonde superhero TV show with the theme song that made the charts.....("Believe it or not/I'm walking on air/I never thought I could feel so free-ee-ee/Flying away/on a wing and a prayer/who could it be? / Believe it or not it's just me/)
Oh, God, we're all getting old. I can't believe I can remember the WORDS to that song! tee-hee....I must have been in Jr. High...\

That was The Greatest American Hero, starring William Kat. Remember, he was in the movie "Carrie" too? I thought her was a "fox" way back when, lol
I remember when MTV debuted. "Video Killed the Radio Star".
Before that, it was all about SNL. The original cast was awesome! I had posters of Shaun Cassidy, David Cassidy, Leif Garrett, Dirk Benedict (remember him from Starship Galactica?)
I remember drooling over David Lee Roth in 1984. And John Cougar before he was Mellencamp. My first car was an AMC Gremlin with an 8-track, but I wanted one with a cassette player, cause they were the new rage.
I learned my 3-sies from Schoolhouse Rock! 3,6,9---12, 15, 18! See! I still remember them! LOL
