I think that article was written right after the Columbine shootings and during the NATO action in Serbia, which makes her 18 in 1999.
I too have heard my parents talk about their childhoods in the 50's and I wouldn't swap with either of them even though on one side, things were actually like a Norman Rockwell painting.
Oh yeah I forgot to name the Beach Boys as an influence on my perception of that time.
