WOODSTOCK.COM-PETE HOLLY VIDEO'S

WOODSTOCK.COM-PETE HOLLY VIDEO'S

WHEN WOODSTOCK TOOK PLACE TOOK PLACE I WAS 13 YEARS OLD.SO
OBVIOUSLY I WASN'T ABLE TO TRAVEL THERE AND SEE THE CONCERT/CULTURAL
EVENT MYSELF.EVIDENCE OF THE EVENT DID FILTER DOWN TO ME HOWEVER &
IN A VERY RAPID FASHION.THE FIRST LITTLE GANG I BELONGED TOO HAD A
PRETTY COOL LITTLE CLUB HOUSE EQUIPPED WITH ONE OF THOSE OLD SCHOOL
ISSUE STEREO RECORD PLAYERS COMPLETE WITH IT'S TRADEMARK CLEAR AND
VERY LOUD SOUND CAPABILITIES.ONE OF THE FEW RECORDS IN THE CLUBS COLLECTION WAS "WOODSTOCK" FEATURING JIMI HENDRIX'S UNBELIEVABLE
VERSION OF "THE STAR SPANGLED BANNER".MANY PEOPLE WERE WAY TOO
BLOWN AWAY BY JIMI'S TAKE OF THE "BANNER" THAT JIMI'S INTENT WAS NEVER
EVEN THOUGHT OF.THEY JUST ASSUMED THAT LIKE EVERY OTHER ARTIST THAT
PLAYED AT WOODSTOCK,JIMI WAS AGAINST THE WAR IN VIETNAM AND HE WAS
MAKING A STATEMENT OF PROTEST.THIS HOWEVER TURNS OUT NOT TO BE THE
CASE.JIMI WAS PARA-TROOPER IN THE ARMY AND AS A RESULT OF HIS ARMY
TRAINING HE WAS IN ALL LIKELYHOOD THE ONLY ARTIST TO PLAY AT WOODSTOCK
WHO'S VIEW'S WERE PRO-MILITARY.HIS RENDITION OF THE STAR SPANGLED BANNER;IT TURNS OUT,WAS NOT IN PROTEST BUT IN PATRIOTISM.NOW THAT,AS
ARLO GUTHRIE WOULD SAY "IS PRETTY FAR OUT".IN REALITY,IT'S TYPICAL OF
OF MANY ASSUMPTION'S THAT PEOPLE MADE ABOUT "JIMI" THAT WE NOW KNOW
WERE COMPLETLY OFF THE MARK.IN THE END-IT DID NOT MATTER-HENDRIX'S
MUSICIANSHIP SPOKE FOR ITSELF.HE DIDN'T NEED A CAUSE TO JUSTIFY IT.JIMI
CLAIMED THE HIGH GROUND BY JUST BEING THE GREATIST ELECTRIC GUITAR
PLAYER TO EVER INHABIT THE PLANET EARTH.
THE MOVIE "WOODSTOCK" IS A FASINATING DOCUMENT OF PROBABLY THE
AMAZING TIME IN MODERN HISTORY BOTH POLITICALLY AND CULTURALLY.
