What era do you wish you had lived at 21?

« on: March 10, 2017, 11:25:09 PM »

What era would you liked to be 21 in? What I'm trying to say is-at the peak of your youth.
For me-1968. Yeah-I know-I may end up in Vietnam. But the underground art scene was so rich with amazing s**t. I could have done art for album covers! Went to crazy MC5 concerts. I was around in '68,but I was 6 years old! that time is fascinating to me.

Me, not by that big of a margin...
Always felt like I was either born four years too early or four years too late, but then looking back on it all, I'd still be me, and my life would still be my life...

I'm a big fan of punk and new wave. Would've been great to be in late 70s/early 80s New York. Places like Max's Kansas City and CB's what with that crop of bands like Ramones, Misfits, Blondie, Talking Heads, etc.

Probably wouldn't have made it to here though. Cheers

Rome, circa 55 BC. I would love to have served under Julius Caesar during the Gallic Wars.

Lotta nit pickin "Im cooler than you" s**t the Ramones were always great-they didnt by into the "scene". I loved them-still do-I tried to get a job with Heavy Metal Magazine-I talked to Mattie Simmons-thats as far as I got. f**k the NY scene. It was very elitist.

Anytime, provided I have the knowledge I have now, really use that sports almanac style knowledge to your advantage! That said nutrition, hygeine and medicine are such that I've got it pretty good here and now. Don't think I'd like to go back too far if it means I have to give up good coffee Twirling

I wish I was 21 now so I could better understand Millennials Question

I know they love posting reaction gifs but that's the extent of my millennial knowledge.

If I could choose I would definitely go back to the 60' - it was a magical time.

I believe I'm classified as a Millennial. I don't know if I'm proud of that or not.

Having spent ten years at a leftist radio station, I think I can safely say this has very little to do with one's age, and more to do with things that sound like they should work, but really don't...

I mean, certain "ideals" that are associated with millenials I agree with. Like religion. Most don't go to church except for weddings and funerals. I'm in agreement there.

Sometime during the early '80s
When Cable & UHF were just getting started, and they were trying to be competitive, not just catering to niche audiences.
Get a sweet deal on a descent muscle car or motorcycle that predated the Carter administration.
Maybe see what it was like to live in a time when the legal drinking age was 18.
A time when smog alerts, acid rain & ICBMs made for a bleak future for all the commie clowns out in Hollywood, and their fears made for some truly entertaining movies for the rest of us.

My generation, all we had was the Branch Davidian burning down, Kurt Cobain offing himself, Rolling Stone Magazine announcing they were going to stop talking about the music & start talking about boring politics stuff, and some portly right winger with a microphone & an attitude catching our attention.
