Baby boomer stuff that needs to be retired

By Patrick Kevin Day and Todd Martens

What a year it's been for those baby boomers, eh?

They got to turn the 40th anniversary of the Woodstock festival into a nearly monthlong commemoration, with a newly released director's cut of the original concert film, retrospective essays out the wazoo and now an Ang Lee movie about the concert's origins.

But that's not all! They also got to revel in their glory days with the long-awaited home video release of "thirtysomething" and hasten the slow takeover of the next generation's dearly held iconography with the release of the Beatles: Rock Band on Playstation 3 and X-Box 360.

Not bad for a generation on the brink of society-changing mass retirement. But if the boomers really are retiring now, perhaps they can take a few of their cherished cultural icons with them. You know, the music, movies and notable faces that once defined the culture wars and now are just kinda -- hanging around.

If we may be so bold, here's a short list of stuff the outgoing generation would be better off taking with them to Shady Acres.
