Kids of the Baby Boom/ Hard on a Heart

From a warehouse find, this is a new, unplayed stock copy, in its original MCA factory sleeve. This is a surprisingly well-drawn memory of growing up as part of the Baby Boom generation. It avoids political controversy by relying on salient demographic facts about the Baby Boom, on empirical data about their spending habits, and on the context of the intense, gut-wrenching world events that surrounded Boomers as they grew up, forcing them to confront their thinking on a host of societal issues. The song avoids reference to those controversial societal issues, such as the Vietnam War, the Civil Rights movement, abortion, Watergate, and environmental protection.
