Jimi's "star Spangled Banner" fuckin rocks (I don't care how many people have said this cause it's true). I saw an interview (on a videotape i watched at the library at my college) of someone (mabye Arlo Guthrie?) saying that Woodstock (and especially Jimi's "Star Spangeld Banner") was not about drugs, sex and rock n roll. It was about peace, love, ending racism, and ending the Vietnam War. Anyone agree?
totally agree, except rock n roll...that was defintly the main theme for that great weekend. Having drugs on you was like breathing air at the time, to normal to think of it as a problem.
but then again whats wrong with sex....espicially to the hippy scence. and drugs was just really an experimentation of the day.
well no one can honestly tell me that woodstock was about peace and love. I would say the majority of people there were there to get high or to get laid, and listen to some music. period.
yeah but from what i heard, there were no trouble makers or no problems with anyone, which kinda goes with the peace feel, in a sense
i once listened to starspangled banner while tripping and it was incredible. and once i tried to jam along with it on the guitar and it was incredible to.
ahhhhhhh starspangled banner amazing its like he reinacted the a war w/ his guitar...or that just might b me....i dnt kno but its amazing
i love how on the starspangled banner he just kinda goes off every once in a while and u can't really tell which part of the song he's on and then he gets back into the regular flow of the song, he's fukin incredible
lots of things happened at woodstock, and while it started about music it quickly became about the people there. People were born there, a few died there, and they were all there to just be together. Dont forget that granola was introduced to a lot of people at woodstock, and just look at what that one aspect of it has grown into. personally, i dont think the woodstock is jimis best Star Spangled Banner, but it has alot of feeling, and is the one so many folks know.
