I agree! I'm all about the 50's. or even the roaring 20's would be awesome (but let's skip the 30's!). I love all the music and dance that came out of that time period.

janinegirly Ideal Rock Total Posts: 2,217 Last Post: 11/21/2009 Member Since: 9/21/2006	late '50's to early '60's (pre kennedy assasination). Everything just seemed so innocent, happy and clean cut! not to mention so much advance..space exploration, Elvis, Marilyn, Beatles, TV's in every home and increase in most people's quality of life! I'm sure behind the Beaver Cleaver image was a lot of suppressed not so happy stuff, but I still always love imagining the era as portrayed in movies!

I agree...graduated in '85...it was nice in some ways, but kind of 'whatever' too I don't think I'd want to LIVE in another era either, but taking a peek would be fun! Maybe even being in a period movie, like the Jane Austen era movies, or a Wild West kind of movie.

Peace, love all that happy crappy. I would have loved to have been at Woodstock. I don't think I would have been one of those people that were out of their minds from drugs, but that music is awesome.

mousey Cut Rock Total Posts: 178 Last Post: 11/19/2009 Member Since: 2/9/2009	I reckon there is no better time to be alive than now, especially if you are female. The average American has a better standard of living that a noble living in the 18th, and 19th century- antibiotics, equality for women, hot running water, refrigerators, etc etc. Of course, that doesn't stop me watching pride and prejudice over and over and wishing i lived in a time and wish i lived in a time where women were ladies and men were gentlemen (idiotic given i pride myself on being a feminist).

Ah...but the question was "if you HAD to". I prefer right here right now too, BUT...if I HAD too? The Renaissance. So much going on! Either then or to see Rome at its pinnacle, preferably as one of the upper class of course. Any era is better if you are a person of means... And if I could see and visit the Great Library of Alexandria before its destruction...ah, now THAT would be too much...

I think if I could go back in time to meet someone, it would be Queen Elizabeth I, but then again, I wouldn't want to stay in her time period at all!! Something very scary about living back then, and no one bathed!! and worst of all, NO AIR CONDITIONING!!
