Jon Stewart: The voice of my generation — and yours

I’ll give you two hints:

  • Younger than George W. Bush.
  • Older than Justin Bieber.
  • Forty-ish, you say? Forty-five, maybe?

    Nope, 52.

    And isn’t it incredible that someone that age — or, anyone of any age, really — could become the countercultural voice of multiple generations, from the millennials to the boomers.

    When you hear the crowd moan, that’s because they realize, too, that he was the voice of so many generations.

    And, thankfully, his was a voice that didn’t take itself too seriously.
