A Baby Boomer's Last Stand: A True Story of a Novel Life from Truman to Trump

About this book

There was a popular meme on the internet that stated, "I'm so glad I grew up in the 1970s and 1980s because I did so much stupid shit and there's no record of it anywhere!" But because the subject of this book was so intimately involved with the press and media of that period, the internet can now find things that were once thought to be forgotten and be brought back to life once again. This epic volume of books, brings back many of those long-forgotten events and stories of that era, when the baby boomers changed the way people looked at the world and changed the way people had fun... at least for a while. This trilogy is more than a biography and shows the amazing journey through the eyes of one unique baby boomer and how much the celebrity culture, the music, and especially the media, changed during the last half of the twentieth century and how it all eventually changed him as well. This first volume of A Baby Boomer's Last Stand could almost be facetiously looked at as a continuation of the fictional character Kevin Arnold from the 1990's television show The Wonder Years, and his "coming of age" story in the 1960s. And possibly, show what may have happen to "Kevin" if he continued into the 1970s and got involved in the world of Sex, Drugs, Rock and Roll, Disco, and Legs... lots of legs! However, the baby boomer in this story isn't a fictional character and everything is true. This volume of books could also be considered a "still life documentary" with the archival photos, news stories and people and places most baby boomers may look back with fondness. Regardless of how much the current culture, as well as some baby boomers themselves, would like to forget those "politically incorrect" times and some of the "stupid shit," if people look hard enough, there is always a record of it somewhere.
