See, I'm thinking the 1920's was where it was at...between World Wars, pre-Prohibition (of ALL kinds not just alcohol), some of the greatest artists were still alive (some in their pomp like Picasso), Jazz was at it's peak with BRILLIANT musicians Louis Armstrong, Jelly Roll Morton, Bix Beiderbecke, Benny Goodman, Bessie Smith, Count Bassie, Coleman Hawkins, The Original Dixieland Jazz Band, The New Orleans Rhythm Kings. You had movies that were just starting to get big, Hollywood was up and coming, and The Great Man W.C. Fields was in his prime!
But then again you had to worry about things like Spanish Flu, Polio, no air conditioning, outhouses in much of the world as opposed to actual bathrooms, no washing machines, no microwaves, no tv, no computers, but some of that ain't all bad.
