50 years ago today
Fifty years ago, on Sept. 18, 1970, guitar legend Jimi Hendrix died of asphyxia while intoxicated. He was only 27 years old, and his stint as a superstar lasted less than five years, but he obviously made his indelible mark — being declared by the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame as “arguably the greatest instrumentalist in the history of rock music” and by Rolling Stone as the greatest guitarist of all time.

And one of the first mainstream rock acts to recognize Hendrix’s greatness was the Monkees. Unfortunately, the Monkees’ young fans weren’t quite as enthusiastic when that TV band’s Micky Dolenz came up with the seemingly bizarre idea to hire Hendrix as the opening act for the Monkees’ first U.S. tour in 1967.

The reason rap did happen is because black kids were not given instruments to play in school and their parents did not buy them instruments. They were poor and to poor people, music is fluff. All they had was a turn table, so they turned that into an instrument. I've heard black kids on the streets of NYC playing drums on plastic buckets with more talent in their little finger than I have in my whole body, and I'm a professional musician who started in cello in school. I remember the kids on the streets in Washington Square Park rapping and break dancing. It was an exciting movement. NYC was broke in the 70's so there were no programs to get instruments into the hands of the poor. The Panthers were trying to enrich the black communities but that got broken up by the FBI.
They killed Jimi because he was anti war.
The 70's was full of horrible music, since the cia killed off or scared off (Dylan) anyone writing anything that had any kind of conscience to the lyrics. The good lyrics moved over to rap music. Then that got hacked and all they sing about is ho's and bling.
I'm so fortunate to have been a teen ager in the 60's when the best music we have ever heard flooded the air everywhere.
I remember when all the song writers were pressured to best each other in writing songs that said something, like Four Dead in Ohio.

Some say it was his manager, Mike Jeffrey. He collected 2 million on an insurance policy he had on Jimi’s life. Jeffrey also had ties to CIA cut outs.
