wow...you must have done too much drugs in our Neil Young days. first of all, there was plenty of crap music in "our generation", to pick out one of the better groups and songs is a ridculous comparison.
However, you should understand exactly what John Mayer is saying because you lived through it, but still dont get it. His point is, that just like us in the 60s/70s, the younger generation holds no power and is helpless to do anything. All of the protests and marches and SDS and Black Panthers meant nothing. The "waiting" JM is talking about is not waiting for someone to do something FOR him/them, its waiting until the generation has the power to do something for themselves and the world. Hopefully this younger generation grows up better than John Kerry and Nancy Pelosi.

This is not a good reading, and not a courageous, involved, or moral one, at all. Any coincidence you picked two democrats? I'd wager it was a lock.

No, its the correct reading. And why wouldnt I pick two anti-war Dems from my generation who epitomize exactly what I (and John Mayer) was talking about?
