SYNOPSIS:

‘sex, drugs and memory loss’

SALLY STONE is on a mission to make Rainbow the haven for hippies it was clearly meant to be.

General war is declared with ANGEL PRATCHETT - the demonized face of the enemy, who represents everything the counterculture was all about smashing: the establishment, the corporations, the warmongers. Angel is alarming like WOODSTOCK to look at, Sally's long suffering Christian republican daughter (Tyler's mom) who legally changed her name to Alison but no one will use it and is tortured by Sally's lifelong refusal to tell her which bad-ass boy of rock was her father.

And Angel agrees her fiscal targets would be so much easier to reach if she could only control the subversive Sally and the rest of the senior stoners.

KENNY BLUES, a multi talented musician & DOC, a retired bio chemist with a fridge full of home made drugs, both Nam vets; BARBIE, an ex-exotic dancer who has had every joint possible replaced and is strangely proud of the fact she's 80% plastic; and PAT, a bisexual, bi-polar, blind, beat-poet who provides quite brilliant song lyrics, become Sally’s boomer buddies.

Along with Rainbow’s physician, DR SMOKING TREE (American Indian and smoking hot); GABRIELLA – the gorgeous young caregiver soon to be the love of Tyler’s angst acne ridden life, Sally forms the band, the protest movement and tries to change the world.

Again.

The biggest fear of Rainbow’s residents, other than having your medical marijuana taken, is to be moved from the chalet accommodation – INSIDE. ‘Inside’ is where those needing more care are put. Inside is where freedom is lost forever; where the 'dribblers’ in the Constant Care Wing slowly decline until their sentences are mercifully over.

Each week SALLY, TYLER & co battle an aspect of ‘getting older’ from wildly different perspectives which turn out to have an odd similarity: a desperate desire for independence, alarming body changes, sexual issues and drugs – always drugs - the need for or lack thereof.

The week’s theme, battle or challenge is reflected in a song the band performs each episode, moving from rehearsing, performing at Rainbow, then in public venues and then online on their own channel, to an ever growing grey fan base. And new neo hippies, teens like Tyler just discovering some really cool sounds from way back.

Running throughout the narrative is a swirly psychedelic thread of mystery:

Which famous 60’s icon WAS Tyler’s grandpa and Woodstock’s dad?

Why does Angel Pratchett look so alarmingly like Woodstock?

And what did become of founder Baba Guru (Kevin, to his friends) who went upstairs to meditate in 1982 and has never been seen since?

My Generation takes a trippy little look at the injustices faced by the disenfranchised: both the under-aged and the older-aged - and poses that still unanswered question: where WILL old hippies go to die?

MY GENERATION - Growing up, growing old - avoiding both.
