The Golden Age by Bobby Conn

The Golden Age is a 2001 album by Chicago-based rocker Bobby Conn, released by the Thrill Jockey label. Conn said that the album "is really about this depressing realization that I managed to extend the teenage years into my mid-30s—that’s happened to a lot of people. American society is structured to deal with superficial identity questions to keep people from making trouble. If your main issue is how you dress and can you wear nose piercings to work, then you’re probably not going to protest war."
