It was a mortifying experience. I have used that in a couple of shows in a couple of ways. I developed my sense of humor and my comedy as a way of number one, protecting myself from this kind of embarrassment, and number two, my way of trying to get girls. Comedy is much harder. With comedy you really have to work to make somebody laugh. To tell a story that has a lot of emotion and still be able to tell it through humor, to me, is more difficult.
To tell that story and be true to that story and yet make the audience laugh, to me, is a very difficult feat. That feeling of optimism that we all had. That we really could change the world, that we had our whole lives stretching out before us, that we could be whatever we wanted to be. Whatever career we wanted to enter, there would be a place for us if we really pursued it. The other thing that I miss is that we were, and still are, the largest generation that world has ever known, so everyone catered to us. When we were kids there were a million kids shows and when we were teens there were a million teen dance shows.
We were the prettiest girl in town, and that was kind of fun. Comments are supposed to create a forum for thoughtful, respectful community discussion. View our full comments policy here.

At the same time, the realities behind the label have not escaped notice. As Eastern religions and rituals such as yoga grew during the s, at least one writer observed a New Age corruption of the popular understanding of "realization" taught by Neo-Vedantic practitioners, away from spiritual realization and towards "self-realization".
