A) Research some good investments and make your future self rich?
B) Kill Hitler
or C) Spend the entire time pining over some woman?
You should read 11/22/63: A Novel by Stephen King. He writes about this very scenario! (except in the 50s instead of the 20s)
shareI'd figure a way to do ALL THREE!!!! lmao!
(well, except in my case, I'd be pining over some cute french guy!)
D) Realise Music will be *beep* for another 20 years and kill myself immediatly.
A)Probably not the Stock Market Crash of 1929, and beginning of The Great Depression, I would probably loose money anyway.
B) Hard to Kill Hitler, you would probably end up dead anyway, but it would be a Unitarian decision which would benefit the masses.
C) The third option seems like the best if not pinning over some woman or in my case a man..I would probably be enjoying Paris in the Jazz Age!! Go to a Josephine Baker show. Listening to some jazz. .party..sight see.
Iheartnormi has the right attitude. Gil was only around during the nighttime so one couldn't really invest in anything stock market wise. Also iheartnormi's point that 1929 loomed close ahead is absolutely correct. As to killing Hitler we can all fantasize but you have to ask ... are you a killer? Pining over Cotillard? In a Parisian second!
I would not be able to resist A, I think Gil even briefly mentions being interested in buying some paintings.
I'd buy some nice stuff and have someone put it in storage for a few decades.
I wouldn't kill Hitler, I don't think you'd succeed, I don't believe in parallel time lines and history is already known, it already happened.
If you are going to succeed in killing him in the 1920s... you wouldn't know who he was and you wouldn't want to go back in time to kill him.... etc.
And we're not even sure we can be in the past during the day time, Gil only spends nights there it seems.
Travelling all the way to Berlin might be tricky, even though Berlin in the 1920s was even more exciting than Paris.
I'm not the pining type but all the men were dressed so much better back then and had more wonderful hairstyles, drank red wine, smoked gauloises and well, it is Paris.
So I might spend some time pining.
But most of the time I'd just be too distracted with exploring the past.
So many interesting things to do, amazing places to visit.
Don't get me wrong I'm a massive jazzfan but unfortunatly trad is to bland for me. It wasn't until Parker and Gillesspie the genre became listenable.
shareUnfortunately this is the Jazz that Woody likes to play himself....that squeky Preservation Hall type stuff. I guess this is where he finds his inspiration.
Fiery the angels fell, deep thunder rolled around their shores, burning with the fires of Orc
Definitely C
