"Our Generation" By Generation X; the lead singer no one other than our residential bad-boy Billy Idol. Ten bucks says he never called his mother a, "Fucking Dick".
"The New Generation" By The Who; Rodger Daultry and his set of bad- asses never told their Fathers they were,"Full of Bullshit"
Nor did any of them 'Mindfully' mind you, let their parents know that as parents we knew nothing.
What happened to family? Has the individualism of Americans completely killed it? Is it time to let Mom go hungry, a cancer ridden Daddy handle things alone, and just kick Grandma to the curb?
I listened as my best friends Son screamed at her the other day in a complete act of UN-relenting rage...they were out of mayonnaise.

Have we over protected them to the point of never wanting to experience at least one 'Summer Of Love', one mind opening acid trip or even walking off a job because you can...
Are they so responsible that they are afraid to experiment in the beauty of art or the pose of poetry for fear of wasting paint and ink.
As a mother I looked forward to spending these young adult years watching my sons blossom through trial and error into the young men they were to become....I never signed up for this isolating rejection from a generation that can call nothing their own....
