You have ruined a fantastic opportunity to report on a timely and actually quite poignant subject by interviewing only people who had just been born during those years. Each of your interview subjects must be suffering from False Memory Syndrome: They were all still in Pampers in the 70s. Maybe you should have focused on the 80s, when New York was still plenty edgy and your paper's target demo were, gosh, just entering puberty.
I guess the Observer is just so hip and young that it would have been, like, so uncool to talk to anybody 40 and up, who actually had credible memories of those amazing times. Pathetic.
