Cathy,
The concept of a generation gap feels like a sidetrack to me. I am
comfortable enough asking questions that might (or might not) highlight
differences: What are you listening to? What do you have in your
pockets? Where did you get those shoes? How do you explain the
election of Dubya to visitors from a distant planet? What is your
favorite TV commercial? Do you believe you will outlive your parents?
Is it okay to be rich? Who do you trust? If someone offered you a
free clone of yourself, would you take it?
And so on and on. Differences are interesting and abundant. But is
there a master difference (or two, or four) between all of you and all
of us? Perhaps--I would look forward to hearing about it/them, cuz I
can't really articulate what it might be.
[A little of where I'm coming from: I was a grad student in the early
nineties, a full generation older than the average undergraduate
theatre student. I don't know if the Class of '03 is different than
the Class of '93, but I'm assuming that my experience with the latter
would help me to understand the former.]
