    QFT. The life of a peasant was pretty fuckin harsh too. Pretty much all they had to eat was porridge (like grits but even more flavorless because salt was too expensive) and whatever organs/gristle the higher classes didn't want (haggis, anyone?). Ever had meat with no salt? It sucks! And when they went into battle they had to fight those armored knights with spears and clubs. And for body armor you got a shirt with some metal plates sewn in it, if you were even that lucky. Good times.

    And I haven't even discussed the bubonic plague... which killed like 40% of the entire population of Europe. Or about how blood-letting was the dominant medical practice, followed closely by amputation.

    If I had my choice of times/places I would probably choose the late 40's/early '50's. It'd be cool to be around at the same time as Muddy Waters, Howlin' Wolf, Dizzy Gillespie, Johnny Cash and Elvis in the Sun Records days, the beat writers, etc etc

    For once, i agree with you on the music choices.
    You know better; next time will be a ban.

    Good Post,


    My skin is brown so most likely 40's -50 would've been not so good for me.
