Anonymous Coward User ID: 78321357 United States 09/18/2020 09:49 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | 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. Quoting: thetrickybigguy 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. [link to www.yahoo.com (secure)] thank you ttbg for remembering Jimi. Jimi was a true human being, humble, talented, smart and honest. My childhood. Grew up with the Monkees too on tv but barely remember that story but life is crazy 5************************************************************ |

Jimi once famously joked but he didn't half put the Strat back in business. Think about it. Before Jimi hit London, Eric Clapton was a Gibson guy. After he saw Jimi in action, he switched his allegiance to Strats. The same thing happened to Jeff Beck, Robin Trower and countless others. Curious about Rory Gallagher’s ax of choice now... |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 77504359 United States 09/18/2020 10:14 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I still think if this guy lived, Rap would never have been invented... Quoting: COVID19 Blacks would have bought guitars and started rock bands... 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. thank you for that very astute and informed post! makes perfect sense im a middle aged white lady deadhead and there are so many talented rap artists |
guitar ace
User ID: 32655223 United States 09/18/2020 10:18 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | from what i've read he drowned from having wine continuously poured down his throst. not sure who the killers were specifically. 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. that's heinous if that's the case. all over some money that he easily could have made booking jimi. sounds just as plausible for removing him for being a far leftist, i didn't know that either. marley, yes it's in some of his lyrics. jimi not so much. i thought he was a fed up with it all kind of guy. |

The children were given a cheap ball by their parents and sent outside to play but music requires discipline to practice. Instruments could be gotten for ten dollars a month or from a pawn shop. I got a trumpet from Goodwill and another used from a music store. It depends on the level of commitment and supervision. |

He was actually a believer in the cosmic Jesus, as you can see in his poetry. The black panthers wanted him to promote them or play shows for them and he didn't want to be politicized. |

Quoting: COVID19 Blacks would have bought guitars and started rock bands... I hear you, but as a longtime guitar player (NOT that great), rapping is MUCH easier. I don't think it would have mattered. I think rapping is popular because one can get to a certain level of competence without a lot of hard work. "Peace in our time?
