Description
Mercurochrome. JFK. Beatlemania. Vietnam. Sex and Drugs and Rock and Roll. These are just some of the memories from the Baby Boom era that are captured in NOW they make it legal: Reflections of an aging Baby Boomer. The book traces the evolution of American culture from the "black and white" 1950s through the turbulent 1960s and into the '70s, ending in the 1980s "when we began to turn into our parents." It tells the history of the Baby Boom generation through the eyes of one of the 80 million people born between 1946 and 1964 - the greatest period of population growth in U.S. history. Baby Boomers grew up during a time of great change in America and had a major impact - in music, politics, pop culture and society at large. This nostalgic and fact-filled collection of stories will entertain those who were there, and educate those who weren't.

This book is a memoir written by the author recalling his memories from the 1950s up to the 1980s.The book is written in a very casual way, and language is freely used which aids in giving a realistic feeling about the incidents mentioned in the book. It is very short, and no portion of the book is unnecessary, or I should say every part of the book is interesting. The book is written based on a fascinating era, and the book inevitably binds the reader. The book also gives very interesting accounts of American politics over the year; most of the book is focused on it and the ideological change that the USA went through in that era. Even after being the primary focus of this book, this "political side" is quite underrepresented in the descriptions and even the title. Also, the title of the book is based on a very short portion (roughly 3-4 pages) i.e. some states legalizing the use of marijuana for recreational purposes and the legalization of gay marriage. I feel that the book is under-represented by the title.
I would recommend it. The book is very short, interesting, easy to read, and I surely recommend it.
