See BOOM Live at the Viking Rentals Centre
BOOM by Rick Miller! An explosive solo performance that documents the music, culture, and politics that shaped the Baby Boom generation. Rick Miller takes us through 25 turbulent years—from the first atomic bomb in 1945 all the way to the Apollo 11 landing on the moon in 1969—and gives voice to over 100 influential politicians, activists, and musicians.Â
