Class on Tuesday started out with Jimi Hendrix playing on his upside down Fender Stratocaster pumping out psychedelic sounds that had never been heard before by people at that time. It was an amazing start to my Tuesday.
"In stead of marching through the streets with M16s and missiles lets walk through the streets with guitars." Hendrix is saying no to war. He’s saying peace, love, and rock n’ roll. He wears bright neon ruffled blouses and pink boas with intent to catch people’s attention, and to establish an awesome credibility to his character as something new, wild, revolutionary. Hendrix wants you to get up and move, to move with his psychedelic sound, and shake you with the vibrato of his guitar.
All right, that’s all I got for now! Peace, love, and as Jimi would say, “excuse me while I kiss the sky!”
