We know what you’re
asking yourself: What is a “Boomerocity”?
Let’s break it down to its components. In this case,
a “Boomer” refers to the baby boomer generation (kids born between the years1946 to 1964). “Ocity”
means, “having the quality or essence of”. So, Boomerocity means having the quality or essence of being
a baby boomer.
The purpose of Boomerocity is to remind boomer’s
of the lessons learned from the experiences we had during our youth (from our teens through our college years). Those
experiences took place against the backdrop of the various components of popular culture which included TV, movies, literature,
sports and music - especially music. We're not necessarily endorsing the various messages from those times.
We merely recognize that they were the thoughts and messages during those times that influenced us then and what we are today.
Boomerocity also includes positive interviews
from pop culture contributors, "influencers" and icons of the 60’s and 70’s. We also interview
their family members. These personalities share their experiences, what they’ve been up to lately,
and their insights into contemporary society. We also will make you aware of some new or up-and-coming talent that might
be of interest to you. After all, there are a lot of bands and artists who are heavily influenced by the music of our
generation. They're definitely worth our attention!
Boomerocity also features positive reviews of books, CD’s,
DVD’s, movies and various other shows and products.
It's our hope that Boomerocity brings a smile to your face kinda like . .
. well, kinda like the Smiley faces of the 60's and 70's. Speaking of, Boomerocity is pleased to have Smiley
(real name "S. Miley") as a part of our team. We use him in between his commercial gigs for Wal-Mart©. You'll notice that, just like those crazy Madison Avenue guys, they make him look younger with make-up.
Well, Boomerocity believes in telling it like it is and so does S. Miley. That's why you'll see him as he really
is, "crow's feet" and all!
It’s all interesting, fun, and informative
so stay tuned!
If you're looking for a place to argue
or for negative interviews or reviews, then this is the wrong place for you. There are other sites and publications
that fill the need to spew negativity. If we can’t be positive with whom we interview or about the
products or shows we review, then we just won’t say anything. We're here to dust off the
memories of our pasts, re-learn our lessons, and positively influence the present as well as our future.
We look forward to your frequent visits here. Please tell
your friends or anyone else that you feel will enjoy our site. The more the merrier!
Sincerely,
The Boomerocity Gang
