Embracing Entertainment: From Television to Pickleball, Boomers Lead the Way
Who doesn’t enjoy being entertained? Certainly no one we know… Perhaps that’s why many people say we Boomers were the first consumer generation, and point out that we grew up in the television age, watching and being entertained by what came to be called ‘mass media’ from the comfort of our living rooms? Who doesn’t remember watching Captain Kangaroo, seeing their first Beatles performance on the Ed Sullivan Show, and the early – must watch – nights of Saturday Night Live?
Of course, as we grew up, we changed movies, too. Think of 1967’s ‘The Graduate,” 1969’s ‘Easy Rider,’ The Godfather (1972) and ‘Apocalypse Now’ (1979). Not to mention ‘All the President’s Men’ (1976). And who could forget ‘Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid’ (1969), ‘MASH’ (1970), ‘Jaws’ (1975) and even ‘Summer of 42’ (1971) or ‘The Way We Were’ (1973) or… what about all the movies featuring The Beatles?
A recent Raymond James-penned article we read in The Atlantic claims that we are now reclaiming the world of pop culture. Whether or not that’s true, we love that we can still see Bruce Springsteen, James Taylor, Fleetwood Mac and even the Rolling Stones on tour. And catch television programs like ‘Only Murders in the Building,’ starring old favorites Steve Martin, Martin Short with guest appearances by old favorites like Shirley MacLaine, Nathan Lane and Sting – Baby Boomers all!
Since we’re living longer and healthier lives, we are still able to continue reshaping our world – and the entertainment available to us — as we have done since we took our first breaths. As Judy Dench says in ‘The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel,’ “This is a new and different world, the challenge is to cope with it, and not just cope but thrive.”
Of course, there are other more active forms of entertainment we’re enjoying, such as playing Pickleball, kayaking, and even participating in marathon races. We’ll try to run the gamut here…
