Tribute to Three Giants Figures of the Sixties' Pop
TRIBUTE TO THREE GIANTS FIGURES OF THE SIXTIES’ POP MUSIC IN THE 50th ANNIVERSAIRE OF THEIR DEATH. ALAN WILSON, JIMI HENDRIX AND JANIS JOPLIN: ASTROLOGICAL REVIEW OF THREE 27’ CLUB MEMBERS. We were at the end of the “sixties”, a remarkable decade of 20th century for popular music, revolutionary movements, technological achievements and radical changes in human relationships. It was also the time of “hippie liberation”, the spread of drugs through young people. Everything was fine when, just in the span of thirty days, three outstanding members of musical background suddenly died. 1970, September the 3th: Alan Wilson, “Canned Heat” guitar, harmonica and vocal, commit suicide at home of another member group, Bob Hite, in Topanga Canyon, California. An overdose was the cause of his death. He was 27 years old. 1970, September the 18th: Jimi Hendrix, one of the bests guitarrist of all times, share his last night with Monica Dannemann in Samarkand Hotel, London. When she woke up Jimi was inconscious, yet breathe. He was moved at St. Mary Abbot Hospital, but he was not alive. The cause of his death: asphyxia per vomit. His partner declared that Jimi had had seven tablets of Vesparax, a barbituric, say, 18 times the recommended dose. He was 27 years old. 1970, October the 4th: Janis Joplin, a singer and contraculture icon of the sixties was found dead in her hotel room, at Los Angeles, just when she was going to record the vocal part of Buried Alive in the Blues next morning. A portent, maybe a synchronicity. The official cause of her death was an heroine overdose, probably combined with alcohol effects. -

The Racialization of Jimi Hendrix Abstract The period of history immediately following World War Two was a time of intense social change. The nde of colonialism, the internal struggles of newly emerging independent nations in Africa, social and political changes across Europe, armed conflict in Southeast Asia, and the civil rights movement in America were just a few. Although many of the above conflicts have been in the making for quite some time, they seemed to unite to form a socio-political cultural revolution known as the 60s, the effects of which continues to this day. The 1960s asw a particularly intense time for race relations in the United States. Long before it officially became a republic, in matters of race, white America collectively had trouble reconciling what it practiced versus what it preached. Nowhere is this racial contradiction more apparent than in the case of Jimi Hendrix. Jimi Hendrix is emblematic of the racial ideal and the racial contradictions of the 1960s. -

SCARLET – German/English Hardrock Band Formed 1986 in Reutlingen
SCARLET – German/English hardrock band formed 1986 in Reutlingen Steve Ellis, vocals Steve Ellis (born Stephen John Ellis, 7 April 1950, Edgware, Middlesex) is an English rock / pop singer, who now lives in Brighton. His biggest success was with the band, Love Affair. They and he are most well known for the songs "Everlasting Love", "A Day Without Love", "Rainbow Valley" and "Bringing On Back the Good Times". Ellis later felt that Love Affair had run its course, and he left in December 1969 for a solo career: "We never really made it big anywhere but Britain and I think that if we had started to happen in America, I wouldn't have left". In the early 70s he formed the band "Ellis", a short lived partnership with keyboardist Zoot Money. Other members included ex-Peter Bardens guitarist Andy Gee; ex-Fat Mattress bassist Jimmy Leverton, later replaced by Nick South; and drummer Dave Lutton. The group released two albums, Riding on the Crest of a Slump in 1972, and Why Not? the following year. In 1976 one of the most popular Serbian and ex- Yugoslav bands, Smak, covered his song "El Doomo" under the title "El dumo", and achieved great success with it. Ellis subsequently had limited chart success with the rock band Widowmaker, releasing the album Widowmaker in 1976. He also sang on the soundtrack of Loot, a 1970 film based on the Joe Orton's play, directed by Silvio Narizzano. Ellis was performing live with The New Amen Corner throughout 2013 and has a solo album out on Decon Records, entitled The Best of Days TERRY HENDERSON, guitars studio ace living in Germany; co-owner of MARQUEE STUDIOS in Reutlingen; founder and leader of the band Martin Connolly, bass Dumpy's Rusty Nuts are a biker rock band in every sense of the term -- not only do they play the sort of loud, heavy, riff-driven bar boogie you'd expect, but singer and lead guitarist Graham "Dumpy" Dunnell actually started out as a motorcycle mechanic before making the switch to rock & roll. -
Hendrix Hits London Educator Gallery Guide
Table of Contents: Background Information Education Goals Exhibition Walkthrough Extension Resources Background Information Hear My Train a Comin’: Hendrix Hits London The purpose of this guide is to present questions and offer information that help lead students through the exhibition and instigate a conversation about the dynamic themes highlighted therein. Hear My Train a Comin’: Hendrix Hits London delves deep into one of the most important and formative time periods in Jimi Hendrix’s career. During a nine-month period beginning in September 1966, Hendrix released three hit singles, an iconic debut album, and transformed into one of the most popular performers in the British popular music scene. In June 1967 he returned to America a superstar. This new exhibition furthers EMP Museum’s ongoing efforts to explore, interpret, and illuminate the life, career, and legacy of Jimi Hendrix. Before its installation in Seattle, Hear My Train a Comin’: Hendrix Hits London debuted at the Hospital Club, a creative exhibition facility and private club located in the heart of London. The show was on view in the UK for two months before returning to the US. While the overall theme remains the same, EMP sought to convey the look and feel of swinging London with the addition of richly patterned wall fabrics evocative of the era, interactive elements, and a chronological large-scale concert map. Hendrix: Biographical Information Students may benefit from a discussion of Hendrix’s personal history prior to the period covered in the exhibition. Born -
“The Greatest Gift Is the Realization That Life Does Not Consist Either In
“The greatest gift is the realization that life does not consist either in wallowing in the past or peering anxiously into the future; and it is appalling to contemplate the great number of often painful steps by which ones arrives at a truth so old, so obvious, and so frequently expressed. It is good for one to appreciate that life is now. Whatever it offers, little or much, life is now –this day-this hour.” Charles Macomb Flandrau Ernest Hemingway drank here. Cuban revolutionaries Fidel Castro and Che Guevera drank here. A longhaired young hippie musician named Jimmy Buffett drank and performed here, too. From the 1930’s through today this rustic dive bar has seen more than its share of the famous and the infamous. It’s a little joint called Capt. Tony’s in Key West, Florida. Eighty-seven-year-old Anthony ‘Capt. Tony’ Tarracino has been the owner and proprietor of this boozy establishment since 1959. It seems Tony, as a young mobster, got himself into some serious trouble with ‘the family’ back in New Jersey and needed to lay low for a while. In those days, the mosquito invested ‘keys’ (or islands) on the southernmost end of Florida’s coastline was a fine place for wise guys on the lam to hide out. And this was well before the tee-shirt shops, restaurants, bars, art galleries, charming B&B’s and quaint hotels turned Key West into a serious year-round tourist destination. Sure, there were some ‘artsy’ types like Hemingway and Tennessee Williams living in Key West during the late 50’s when Tony bought the bar, but it was a seaside shanty town where muscular hard-working men in shrimp boats and cutters fished all day for a living. -
Jimi Hendrix Biography - Life, Family, Name, School, Mother, Young, Son, Old, Information, Born
3/5/2020 Jimi Hendrix Biography - life, family, name, school, mother, young, son, old, information, born World Biography (../in… / He-Ho (index.html) / Jimi Hendrix Biogr… Jimi Hendrix Biography Born: November 27, 1942 Seattle, Washington Died: September 18, 1970 London, England African American musician, songwriter, and guitarist Jimi Hendrix was one of the most original electric guitarists of all time, combining blues, hard rock, modern jazz, and soul into his own unmistakable sound. He was also a gifted songwriter. Raised by his father Jimi Hendrix was born Johnny Allen Hendrix in Seattle, Washington, on November 27, 1942, the son of Al Hendrix and Lucille Jeter. His father—a gifted jazz dancer who worked at a number of jobs, including landscape gardening—bore much of the responsibility of raising the boy and his brother, Leon, as did their grandmother and various family friends. This was due to the unreliability of Lucille, who drank excessively and who would disappear for extended periods. Al Hendrix changed his son's name to James Marshall Hendrix in 1946. Al and Lucille divorced in 1951; Al Hendrix won custody of his sons and exercised as much discipline as he could, but the boys—young Jimi especially—worshipped their absentee mother. Jimi Hendrix wanted a guitar early on. Before acquiring his first real instrument, he "played" guitar on a broom and on a one-stringed ukulele. At last Al got his son a guitar, and the twelve-year-old Jimi began to teach himself to play. Jimi restrung the guitar upside down—as a left-hander, he was forced to turn the instrument in the opposite direction from how it is usually played, which left the strings at the bottom unless he rearranged them. -

Chinese Whispers: Jimi Hendrix, Fame and “The Star Spangled Banner” 1
49 th Parallel No.17, Spring 2006 Chinese Whispers: Jimi Hendrix, Fame and “The Star Spangled Banner” 1 Marios Elles * Macquarie University, Sydney, Australia ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Drawing on Halbwach’s notion of collective memory the paper reassess some of the key turning points in Hendrix’s legacy. Highlighting the contingent nature of Hendrix’s rise to fame through to its peak in 1968, the paper illustrates how, despite the fact that Hendrix continued to grow as a musician, from 1969 onwards his business and personal affairs were increasingly in disarray. In fact he was telling Rolling Stone in May of that year, that he needed to take a year off ("Hendrix's One Year Retirement Plan"). Secondly, I show that Hendrix’s Woodstock performance did not represent the high point of the festival either artistically or in terms of crowd numbers, and that rather than being regarded as iconic at the time, Hendrix’s rendering of the anthem was regarded as controversial by his opponents and as a theatrical display of music virtuosity by his supporters. I also demonstrate how Hendrix’s flirtation with the American anthem represented part of a wider cultural phenomenon at the time. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ * Marios Elles is a PhD student at Macquarie University, Sydney, Australia. He is currently researching and writing his thesis on Jimi Hendrix. He has presented papers on Hendrix at the 6 th Conference of the ESA Research Network for the Sociology of the Arts , The Art of Comparison, Rotterdam, The Netherlands in 2004 and at The Australian Sociological Association (TASA) Tasmania University, Hobart in 2005. -
NEW RELEASE for the Week of Feb. 26, 2021 PRIORITIES & HIGHLIGHTS >> Pre-Order Now!
NEW RELEASE for the week of Feb. 26, 2021 PRIORITIES & HIGHLIGHTS >> Pre-Order Now! CHAI "WINK" (SUB POP) SP1420 CASS/ LP/ CD May 21 street date. Since breaking out in 2018, CHAI have been associated with explosive joy. At the core of their music, CHAI have upheld a stated mission to deconstruct the standards of beauty and cuteness that can be so oppressive in Japan. Like all musicians, CHAI spent 2020 forced to rethink the fabric of their work and lives. But CHAI took this as an opportunity to shake up their process and bring their music somewhere thrillingly new. Having previously used their maximalist recordings to capture the exuberance of their live shows, with the audiences' reactions in mind, CHAI instead focused on crafting the slightly-subtler and more introspective kinds of songs they enjoy listening to at home. Their third full-length and first for Sub Pop, "WINK" contains CHAI's mellowest and most minimal music, and also their most affecting and exciting songwriting by far. CHAI draw R&B and hip-hop into their mix of dance-punk and pop-rock, all while remaining undeniably CHAI. DINOSAUR JR. "Sweep It Into Space" (JAGJAGUWAR) JAG366 LP/ CD DINOSAUR JR. "Sweep It Into Space (JAGJAGUWAR) JAG366LPC1 LP (translucent purple ripple)" April 23 street date. Here is "Sweep It Into Space", the fifth new studio album cut by Dinosaur Jr.. during the 13th year of their rebirth. Originally scheduled for issue in mid 2020, this record's temporal trajectory was thwarted by the coming of the Plague. But it would take more than a mere Plague to tamp down the exquisite fury of this trio when they are fully dialed-in. -
