Word Salad

I discuss where the word of "boomer" comes from. Not just the Baby Boom, but also the Oklahoma boomers and sooners. With Apollonia Piña, a "Sooner" and Mvskoke (Creek) Citizen. It's complicated.

Excerpts from Russell Cobb, The Great Oklahoma Swindle. Music bits by Rogers and Hammerstein and JJ Cale the OU Sooner Marching Band. Boomer? Sooner?
