What era would you have liked to live in?

Does a point in time speak to you? Do you wish you could have been there to experience it firsthand? Or are you just fine with the era you’re in? I do sometimes wish I could have been in the 1960s…. I was thinking about it last night when I watched part of the Dylan documentary on PBS. :hi:

3. Interesting. I always thought I was born exactly 50 years too late.

I've always been fascinated by my grandparents generation. Love the music, art, design, film, fashions, and history of the period when they were my age (1930's - 1940's).

My grandfather was one of the first members of the 101st (joined the Army in '38 to escape poverty and signed on with the 101st for the extra pay). Unfortunately, he wasn't the story teller in the family, my grandmother was and she was always fuzzy on the details, LOL.

I still harbor a crush on the hunky Robert Mitchum. *sigh*
