5. Definitely the 60's. I was very young (born in '57) but had a brother
who was 10 y.o. and a sister who was 8 y.o. and they were both hippies. I remember listening to the Stone's Beggers Banquet when I was just a kid and of course The Beatles were always on. I would've LOVED to have been a teenager during that decade.
I'd own a big ass hemp farm. My indentured servants would be working all day separating the buds from the stems and seeds and throwing the buds in the refuse. Then at the end of the day we'd smoke up all the buds together and plot a revolution. It'd be real cool, man! Freedom!
I would put my horse in the barn at night, in the stall next to my dad's mare and her baby filly. Then he would not get out of the pasture out of loneliness and boredom and get killed in the road by a car speeding in the dark.
I couldn't do anything about my mother's death from cancer the year before but I could save my horse. And I think that would have made a big difference in the direction my life took because I just shut down after that.
