Great piece, great writing. And you are SO right about The Big Chill. I saw it when it came out--it was the first mainstream film about "my" generation--and it was actually embarrassing to watch.
I can commiserate; my generation are hovering around Big Chill age ourselves right now and are doing our best to embarrass ourselves at least as badly.
I love your generation. I wish you guys could just take over and slap thngs into shape. You're the only ones with any sense. And you're an excellent writer (check my bio if you want to know my credentials for saying so).
You're being charitable towards us but I'll take it. And your credentials are one of several reasons your opinion matters to me, so thanks for the kind words about my writing.
