Thanks for the details anon. Hendrix and The Monkees were a weird mix, but maybe less weird than Jimi and Engelbert.Blueberryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17357299403457746440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12694343.post-3890218336207471362007-06-05T13:46:00.000-05:002007-06-05T13:46:00.000-05:00Er, um, Hendrix left the Monkees tour not because ...Er, um, Hendrix left the Monkees tour not because of the D.A.R....that was just the press release given....he left because he could not handle all the screaming teens after 8 performances, and it was a mutual agreement between the Monkees and him to leave. The Monkees were trying to get recognition/respect from their peers by signing Hendrix, but it sadly didn't work....also Jimi's first song out was beginning to rise in the charts as the tour progressed...the story about the D.A.R. was a falsehood that just became perpetuated and a myth over time.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12694343.post-51653728261995633062007-05-31T11:19:00.000-05:002007-05-31T11:19:00.000-05:00Ah!

Had not talked to him in many months.<BR/><BR/>Now I'm thinking of more things that maybe should be on the list. Well, there's always 1968 to do next year.Blueberryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17357299403457746440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12694343.post-1978188337291383312007-05-31T11:01:00.000-05:002007-05-31T11:01:00.000-05:00Thank you!!

I'm also a Velvet Underground fan...I have recordings and tidbits from most of these groups with a collection of over 6,000 songs on my hard drive.

Beatles bigger than Jesus, Dixie Chicks blasphemy against god's anointed mouthpiece, Hendrix's Star Spangled Banner (that one went over better in the long run than Rosanne Barr's version), Jim Morrison's Miami debacle (I *almost* went to that show!).

Even a little sickly-sweet pop. <BR/><BR/>And let's not forget the Dead! Uncle John's Band always makes me wanna dance as much as ANY techno vibe. <BR/><BR/>"<I>Outrage publicity</I>"...

Lived the life too, we did, for that short Camelot of the late sixties. <BR/><BR/>Then the generation after me embraced it as well. Now I'm older than she was then and like lots of bands with members in their 20s, and they love not only contemporary stuff but music from all centuries and genres. It keeps going.Blueberryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17357299403457746440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12694343.post-22724624220730691912007-05-30T20:34:00.000-05:002007-05-30T20:34:00.000-05:00I was born a year after you, Pam.

That said, I'd like to add that '67 was the year the Who had their only USA top 10 hit, "I Can See for Miles." And, of course, they rawked Monterey.The Trufflehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16641173488798036738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12694343.post-71729175169999552452007-05-30T18:09:00.000-05:002007-05-30T18:09:00.000-05:00I was born in 1968.
