Planet, species, race, nation, state, religion, party, union, club, association, neighborhood improvement committee I have no interest in any of it.

Baby boomers helped me a great deal in my career. They launched me. They were there for me to sing my song to. And I'm not saying I'm better than anyone, but I think they turned that anti-authority baby boom mentality into their own enemy. Now I identify very closely with their children.
