Wherever Jimi Hendrix was! 
Oh... I just re-read the question. Based on who I am today? (E) "Love Hurts. Your lies, they cut me. Now your words don't mean a thing. I don't give a damn if you ever loved me..." -Cher, "Woman's World" | |

I would like to think "H", but being a minority, and an extremely underrepresented minority at that, I really don't know what my options would have been.
And considering I grew up at the age of 18 in the deep South (Birmingham, Alabama where that church was bomb that killed those 3 children), I'm not so sure I would have the resources to pick an option outside of what was afforded to me. Being a minority, an added demension is always added to these types of hypotheticals about the past. I mean, I've heard people talk about how neat it would have been to grow up in the roaring 20s or during pre-civil-war antebellum days with their opulence and and regal attire, and all I can think is "Lynching" and "no air conditioning"

none of the above...i most likely woulda been mostly hipster mod, probably with my fingers in most of the other countercultural pies. i love stuff like peter max, laugh-in, crazy go-go jazz music, and all the other wacky colorful stuff from the '60s - but i've also had a scattering of interests springing from other '60s scenes. | |

I'd have been a bit of a bra-burner and I'd likely have checked out the hippie thing, but once I found what was going on in New York with Andy Warhol and all the crazy art kids there I likely would have been a speed freak who eventually threw herself out of a Hotel Chelsea window.
OK, actually, I would have dabbled in the speed with everyone else, attended some fabulous parties and heard of someone I know throwing themselves out a window and returned to Mpls to tell my tales and would have ended up in a safe corporate job like I have now. |

But, after all is said and done, I stand by my crazy leftover-pie-eating ways.  |

I'm not black and we didn't draft people in Canada in the 60's. Besides, I'm female. [Edited 3/12/08 0:25am] "A Watcher scoffs at gravity!" | |

My mama was at Woodstock. She and her cousin hitched their way down from Toronto when they were 14 and 16 to go. They heard there was this groovy weekend music-fest and thought they'd go check it out. They missed Hendrix (bummer) but caught just about everything else.
