But, sometimes he goes wildly off base.
The resurgence of the blues in the mid 60s in England & late 60s in the US was promulgated by guys that were from the Silent Generation. Clapton, Mayall, Beck, Allman, Gallagher, and others were not Boomers.
So, he's really got this wrong at the start.
And, full disclosure, I hated having guys come to jam nights we hosted who wanted to do blues. Most of them were Boomers or Gen X, and they didn't ruin the blues, they just made them boring.
