Shit @DawgsCanDance you must be older than dirt[/s] @RaceBannon . The LA music scene of the 60's- e.g., Beach Boys, Byrds, Love, Doors, Mamas and Papa, Buffalo Springfield, Neil Young, CSN, etc is second only the 1960's London.

The various Laurel Canyon docs out there are terrific.

Mid sixties San Fran, with a move to Laurel Canyon in 68...

LA in the 60's would have been amazing...banging beach babes in a Hollywood bungalow.

I'm not down with the Laurel Canyon Manson crowd. I'll stay in SF.

Manson stayed in Topanga. The crew frequented Benedict Canyon.

 
Well, some of us were there [/i]for the Don James era, so I'm not wasting a chip on that one. Been there; done that.

Yeah, 1920s to 1940s era Havana would have been fun.

I personally would choose to live out my college days in the 60s. I was born in the 60s so I didn't enjoy it. The sense of style ... of everything ... clothes, cars, music etc. Would have been fantastic to be chasing ass at a time when the girls were loosening up after saving it during the 1950s. Would have been entertaining to experience the old folks freaking the fuck out and convinced the world was going to hell in a hand basket. To see Hendrix, Zeppelin and all that great music show up and evolve. Go to Woodstock, get really fucked up and naked and fuck like a rabbit for three days or whatever.

The 60s would have been fun in one's late teens and early 20s. SF probably the place to be.

May, 1787. I think the idea of term limits should be whispered into Thomas Jefferson’s ear, before they ratified the Constitution.
 
In all seriousness, it *really* would’ve been fun to have been at UW as a student during the peak Don James years...and not just because of football, but also to experience Seattle right before it reached its peak.

The Swinging Sixties in London would’ve been fun.

I’m told by my elders that @creepycoug’s Cuba pre-Castro was amazing.

Agree with you DJ on 1920s Paris.

Not sure what decade, but seeing old school, Morocco, Egypt, Turkey, or Iran would be incredible.

Check out China, Tibet, or Vietnam before the communists rolled in.

Las Vegas during the Rat Pack era.

Seattle in the 80’s/early 90's was pretty damned tight. You don't know what you've got until it's gone. [/b]

60's would have been amazing in NYC, London and Vegas.

It was and I do.

for some of us? older folks the 60's is just a big blur (and some of the 70's) - maybe it would be fun to relive it straight just to see what it was like as an observer. Or do the Back to the Future thingie and watch what I did from a distance.

And you may find yourself in a beautiful house
With a beautiful wife
And you may ask yourself, well
How did I get here?

The hotels there were bigger and swankier than any of our? Joints back in the States.
 
If you didn't answer 1910's Seattle to STOp Henry Suzzallo before he fucked us all then you don't really miss WASHINGTON, dammit.

You know what kind of damage I could do and fun I could have knowing what I know now?

Is this in reference to your teenage years dressing in your mother’s clothing?

No, but way to fag out the thread. Haul your ass back to the Tug, stupid.
 
Probably 70's NYC. That time period, especially in NYC, just feels like the Wild West but in the biggest city in the US. The impression is that no one cared, and you were free to do what you wanted, and do who you wanted.

Everything I know about NYC late 50's / early 60's is from West Side Story, and I don't think I'd be able to get the choreography down.
1920's would be great I think in any major city.
England in the 80's just to witness the soccer climate.
