Alright. Last one I promise. But..

If you could go back to any time period which would it be?

I would want to go back to the Chicago-esque time period. It just seems so glamourous and fun. I would also be a jazz singer. By the way, my time machine also gives me singing abilities.

Late 1960s London would be amazing. I would also like to see 1977 New York (so I could see 'Star Wars' and many cool bands). Other than those two, which are pretty obvious for me, I would like to go to late 1800s London for some reason. Just the prevalence of top hats makes me like that period...plus Jack the Ripper and the Elephant Man rock...

Oh, I think about this sort of thing all the time. If only I could be transported to 1962 (ish) London...then I could go to Beatles shows with my camera, take pictures, and get to my Paul before another photographer...then, he would be mine.

But, basically, I would just like to go back to the sixties (preferably London) and be able to live when The Beatles were still together, go to their shows, and get all of The Beatles merchandise and vintage clothing that I now search for on ebay.
But what will happen to the boy when the circus comes to town?

I think the 1940s would be cool to revisit. I would love the dancing...and the drawing of lines down the back of your legs. And the wearing of lots of polka dots!

I also think that Elizabethan era England would have been pretty cool to experience. It's probably better to read about, though. Poor sanitation and threats of the plague don't sound too fun.

I thought the exact same thing. It would be amazing to be there but thats just a little too far back for me. I am perfectly satistfied with all my Mary/Elizabeth/Henry books. What a great family. Now they are dysfunctional.

Yes, let's hear your story, Jamie. I'd just like to do high school over again.
I TOTALLY AGREE!

That was near the beginning of my senior year in high school. I would have just gotten out of school for the week, and was about to go to Atlanta for the weekend with my buddy. I remember exactly what I was wearing and how the weather was and where the car was parked. I can look back at that moment and say with confidence that that's when my life came off of the tracks.

No particular order...

1. Late 70's, early 80's and be a teenager. I would be content living in America, but Europe would be another option. The music scene was cool at the time.

2. 1940's - Live the American Dream

3. Early 60's - People dressed well and the ratio of nice people to punk-asses was not as much as it is now. (Would like to stick around for a while and befriend my dad to see what he was like back then)

4. Time of Jesus - Video-tape Jesus and clarify many questions for lots of people.

I would go back to November 5, 1955 to help my dad, RaDaDaDa Foolery, beat up that bully so he won't be a loser in the present. I might do some skateboarding, too.

I also wish I could go back to the early 80s and be there to follow a very young REM.

With that in mind, I also would go back to Murfreesboro starting in 94 to witness the rise and fall of Spongebath...and see the Features and Fluid Ounces back then as much as possible.
I can't grow a beard, and I don't like to party.

I'm sorry for being so ambiguous. I wasn't trying to confuse. It's just too long a story to go into here.

Was it a chick or was it crack? Those are the only two options I can think of that can mess up a man.
grass stains, airplanes, anything and everything

Neither. Just an endless chain of bad decisions.
