The boomers and Dylan lovers are now in their 60s at least! At a geriatric 41 I have to say that Sonic Youth and the Pixies were more my generational thing... <br /><br />Interestingly I think that for many people punk and post-punk "no-wave" music provided something (usually negative but sometimes positive in the shape of alternative communities) to fill the "God shaped hole" left behind by the trashing of traditional values throughout the 1960s/70s. I think a lot of people looked around, thought "there must be more than this" ... but were so culturally inoculated against looking to religion for answers that they looked anywhere and everywhere else instead. As Chesterton said: he who believes in nothing believes in everything. The nihilism of punk and post-punk provided -- if not a solution -- then at least a sense of belonging to something other than the problem. Unfortunately a solution ultimately built on nihilism is destined to be a hollow one. Still, better than Dylan: never trust a hippy ;-)<br /><br />Erk ... sorry, didn't intend to deviate so far from my original point!Annie Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04406390389550024888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2389530333077823143.post-55841442312572315582011-05-25T13:06:09.167+01:002011-05-25T13:06:09.167+01:00The Pope is in his eighties.

Dylan became a false idol or icon of popular protest against social injustice in an age which soon legislated the murder of unborn babies. Dylan became anti-Christ. Dylan's most famous music always was anti-Christ.<br /><br />The 1960s was about the sweeping away of the order - social, political, moral and religious. But it was vacuous - amoral - rebellion without a real sense of conscience. <br /><br />Quite why Obama's wars are acceptable and Lyndon Johnson's wars were not is never fully explained, but there we go.The Boneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10271719805983763595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2389530333077823143.post-75646498329962773272011-05-25T07:30:35.544+01:002011-05-25T07:30:35.544+01:00I might add, quite why Bl.

The way many of you refer to us, you would think we should shrink away out of sight and sound, instead of engaging with life on a par with anyone else of any age!<br /><br />Strange as it may seem to you, "Catholic" does not equal "political conservative".<br /><br />I'll thank you kindly for not dumping us all in a box labelled 'useless' just because we're over sixty and have the cheek to mix and match our allegiances out of sinc with your idea of a proper Catholic.<br /><br />For all their piety, etc. many traditionalist Catholics fall very short of the mark of being practitioners of the seven virtues.<br /><br />Barack Obama isn't dead yet - how are you to know that he won't realise his grave mistake in supporting Planned Parenthood?
