Our generation grew up between 1965 and the early 80s and became adults in the 90s. We were the latchkey kids, MTv Generation, slackers and losers and yet somehow it all turned out alright. We're active and balanced now in our midlife and some of us have gone on to create some of the things that we only thought possible in the movies and on T.V. This is Vintage X Radio.
