Hey, fellow 67’er.

My graduation class chose Alphaville’s “Forever Young” as its commencement song. Yah, the one that starts off

> Let's dance in style, let's dance for a while > Heaven can wait, we're only watching the skies > Hoping for the best but expecting the worst > Are you gonna drop the bomb or not?

I think that that musical choice perfectly encapsulates what it was to grow up as Gen X.

I would have chosen "We didn't start the fire" (as a younger Gen Xer), but maybe that song was maybe more aimed at baby boomers.
