Terrence Stamp has a monologue in The Limey that is on its own worth the price of admission.
I really enjoyed your phrase “an Oort cloud of poseurs, scammers and hangers-on”. The boomers’ numbers inflated “The Sixties” to celestial exaggeration.
I don’t know about you, fellow Xer, but I’ve seen enough clips of choppers over Vit-Nam over a “Fortunate Son” soundtrack or Woodstock footage of hippies splashing in the mud to last me the rest of my life.
I like Peter Fonda’s line in that movie, right sizing the era to a briefer window. You had to be there.
Well that certainly added a sense of urgency to something that was happening half a world a way. I'm sure that more Americans would be concerned about what's happening in Palestine if they were in danger of being conscripted to join the fight.

I had my husband submit a short story :)
Thank you so much for passing on the word - we are excited he submitted!

I have not seen that movie and so I had to look up the quote! I hear it's a good one, though, so one of these days...

Beyond the war was the draft. It was always there.
