I was more an inbetweenie : Too young to be a hippie and too old for disco.  My favourite music in those days was the progressive rock of Yes, Emerson, Lake and Palmer, the early Genesis albums, but no-one seems to remember that music anymore allthough I still listen to it.
Sometimes it feels like I was born in the twilightzone. Some of my friends and relatives with the same age have the same feelings, we were a bit of grey or more to say colorless. When you read above that all that we belong to a lost generation, the whole picture is complete.
But I hear myself complaining again, when I look (and listen) at the brainless music of today with its hip-hop, acidrock, techno-house, trance and what more even disco doesn't seem that bad.
