Someone mentioned this to me last night and it kind of blew me away.
What are we going to make of this decade?
The Boring Twenties?
The Whoring Twenties?

Work these into your vernacular.

That roaring stuff only happened in NYC, the other normal places didn't have that perversion.

The roaring 20's were followed by the Great Depression, lets not do that again.

Things become clear to me now, r1.....
13. Cake-eater: in the 1920’s refers to a “ladies’ man”; later, slang for homosexual

This would have been a great thread, but we can no longer see preview pics. Which is half the fun. So that sucks. That said, I love the roaring 20s! My favorite time period. The writers for sure. The artists. I'd be in Paris, not NYC or LA. For sure.

Well, we didn't do much with the Gay Nineties thirty years ago, did we?

Broadway musicals were very snappy fun: Marilyn Miller in "Sally" & "Sunny", then Gertrude Lawrence in "Oh Kay!". There was also "Good News", "No No Nanette" (picture attached), the original "Show Boat" and of course Fred and Adele. The Gershwins, Porter, Kern, Vincent Youmans (nearly forgotten as a name in spite of many classic songs), and for operetta, Friml & Romberg.

R12 Here. I forgot to mention Jolson, Eddie Cantor, clowns like Bert Lahr, Ed Wynn and Victor Moore. No Merman yet, but 1930 was just around the corner.

R2 Kansas City was absolutely WILD in the 20's, almost to be considered its hey day. Jazz joints , speak easies, mafia, prositutes, dance halls and one could actually get a drink!.

The 2020's are going to be like the turbulent 70's but with all the side fun removed.
