I agree and during WWII. Oh and in Hollywood in the 30s.I reckon it would have been an interesting time to live in America during the years 1963 to 1974.

It's very interesting. Here's another:I love hearing about the origins of common sayings. Eg. Throwing the baby out with tbe bath water; when bathing was an occasional activity and everyone had to use the same water, the father bathed first, then the sons, then the wife, then the youngsters and finally the baby. The bath water was by then so filthy that it was quite possible the baby would get thrown out with the bath water.
The US.Where abouts in WWII?
The US.
I thought it meant to show your emotions easily?

"In the Middle Ages knights who fought at tournaments wore a token of their lady on their sleeves. Today if you make your feelings obvious to everybody you wear your heart on your sleeve"....
Thought it just meant to give your heart easily. But, behind it was a Knight in shining 'amore' wielding his jousting sword all along.
Sorry, lance - jousting lance. His number escaped me, but I got his name. They call him Poor King Sorde apparently.His jousting WHAT?? Do you have his number?
Couldn't agree more. I have also been lucky enough to explore the tombs and temples of the Pharaohs. To think some of those ruins are over 4,000 years old, and still there offering so much more than just glimpses of an ancient, yet incredibly sophisticated way of life.Ancient Rome and Egypt are endlessly fascinating. Luckily I have seen a lot of ruins, I would love to know what on earth it was like when it was relatively new.
The society stuff is fascinating.
I checked to confirm my hunch on the real truth behind your interest...Tina Arena born 1967, Julia Sawalha 1968.Watched that cnn documentary on the 60's in America. What an incredible decade that must have been to live through. The assassinations of jfk, rfk, and mlk. Vietnam war, civil rights, rise of the counter-culture, space race, british invasion, and all those strange tv shows.
