YES. I had such a crush on "Leaf" Phoenix as a kid.

Were you really? I can't say I've ever met anyone who was really devastated by that. I just thought it was a media myth.

what? the explosion itself or that people found it greatly upsetting? i watched the launch with my third grade class. right at the age where they're telling us we can be astronauts when we grow up, which sounds so so cool and then a spacecraft full of people explodes right on the screen in front of your eight year old face? yeah, that's devastating. i'm not PP btw.

I'm not PP either, and yeah, what a terrible thing to say! I saw it explode in real time, too, and yes, it was pretty horrifying. You knew it wasn't a movie; it was real people being killed.

My siblings were born in '65 and '67 and all of us identify with a lot of these memories. I don't really think those of us born around then identify with Baby Boomers. For instance, I don't remember when (either) Kennedy was shot.

Cut off for Baby boomer is '64. You are a boomer.

Those "cut offs" are meaningless. Do you really think someone born in 1963 has more in common with someone born in 1948 than with someone born in 1965?

+1. Even the people studying generational trends don't all agree on the cutoff years.

I am a 1966er. My husband was born in '62. He says I'm a Boomer - that I have more in common with the Boomers. But when he brings up information connected to Boomers - aside from music - I have no connection to those things/events.


I think 66 was a weird in between year, as many of my friends feel the same way. We grew up with Gen X mindsets but were on the older end.

I saw The Breakfast Club the other night. I'm sure someone mentioned this earlier. What a great film!!!!

Me too. I was a junior in college, and I remember exactly where I was when I saw video of the explosion. Why would it be a myth?
