I personally live in the second decade of the 21st century.

Where do you live? Do you live in the modern age or do you live in 1969 or 1972? When did the clock stop ticking for you?

I did go on holiday to 1971 once but it was only a holiday. I did come back.

Huh?

I live in my house....except when I go out to play....or work

I don't live today
Maybe tomorrow, I just can say
But I don't live today

Geographically, I divide my time between Texas and Ohio. Temporally, I'm living in the past as much as I can while recognizing I'm a 21st Century man but I don't want, I don't want to be here.

At first I was going to say something sarcastic, like one poster above about living in his house.

But I very much understand the spirit of the question.

My answer: I live in a state of mind that excludes all things twenty-worst century.

I was born in 1966, but growing up in the 80s presented a problem, because the music just didn't sound right. I never understood my contemporaries going wild for ersatz generic fluff bands like Journey and Foreigner, let alone those silly hair metal bands with their "I just dropped an anvil on my foot" screeching front men.

Although I did go for contemporary groups of the time like the Clash and Echo and the Bunnymen, for me I always felt more at home with the sounds of the 60s and 70s -- Beatles, Stones, Doors, Cream, Kinks, etc.

I gave the 90s a chance, but didn't take it with me for long.

Going into the 2000s, the culture just became too loud -- talk shows became shout shows, rock music went completely off the radar to be replaced by flavor of the month pop singers, these idiotic "reality" shows...

I haven't seen a Hollywood movie or listened to a contemporary song or bothered to even switch on a radio or TV set since the last time I consumed a McDonald's cheeseburger -- more than 6 years now.

Body and mind have never been healthier.

Somewhere over the rainbow, on the long and winding road, over the hills and far away, beyond the horizon, on the dark side of the moon.

Good question. I guess there are some who thinks it's still 1972 here. Or even 1792... I'm, sometimes painfully, aware it's not. 1972 would be a great year though for any Stones fan...

Musically living in the past as I listen to little that was recorded past 1980.

Technologically I am a 21st century man as I am an Engineer and an internet junkie but I don't do twitter or facebook and am not glued to my phone.

Have to say that while I still love vinyl I also love the idea of carrying all my music on my phone when I leave the house and use my portable bluetooth speakers and wireless headphones all the time.

I keep buying vinyls.

Me too

Singapore (primarily) and Saigon.

In a village near Swindon, just over the border into Oxfordshire.

But from Hamilton, Lanarkshire, Scotland with my original accent undiluted. I left aged 14 in 1981

If we're taking musical point in time and not Geographical location, then yes, I'm more than happy to be a dinosaur as I think very little of today's latest music

Excellent music exists today. This narrative of “it was better in my day” is so painfully dull and cliched.

I live on earth #23 (version 2.1).
I mistook yesterday, I was on earth #12, it was a bad day.

How about you ?

My heart is deep in the country
But I live for the city

It's about individual tastes and preferences and not facts. I prefer the music of 'back then' and no doubt today's music has its fans too, mostly (but not exclusively) the young. If it makes them happy, good on them.

Very much in agreement. Thread makes me want to post that too. So many posts saying in essence "I don't belong here today". That is a personal choice.
But the notion that there is not great music in the 80's, 90's, or today is absurd. Pop music sucks, but it always does.
The only thing that disappears with time is a person's desire to go and explore and digest new music and art.

Totally agree. Whilst most of the music I listen to is fairly ancient now I am always open to something new. I never wanted to become one of those walking cliches who are so stuck in the past that they can't see and appreciate what's good about the present.

Love your question Kevin, my full answer would be long and bore you to tears so ill keep it short.

I live in my own world , i make my own reality, all the answers to our questions are already deep within us, but there are so many distractions that we can't see it.
We are all connected to the oneness the wholeness of the universe, its a beautiful world when you see it for what it is, just an illusion.
Hey Keith wrote a song about that

You can't really go deep in a place like this so i will just leave it at that.
I don't do news or TV or anything online except this, i find that the world is manipulated by the rich few and i'm not interested in their indoctrination.

In a way the Stones are my only exception, these guys are worth the time and effort, they never stop to amaze me, i mean the fact that they are still alive and well and still manage to remain active after all they have been through is almost supernatural

I guess if a picked a year i live in 81' Tattoo You and the tour that accompanied it.
If i lived in a place its in my head where everything you imagine comes true.
