I stop by to read your latest post and make a comment and find you’ve posted about me and my newsletter, lol!

It is a fun video though - I’m always hunting for great retro pop culture stuff for my newsletter readers and this was passed on to me by one of the Boomer Divas - just had to share it!

Wonderful movie that brought back many great memories. And I love the thought of rewiring!

Comment on Jimmy Hendrix and Where Was I During Woodstock? by Karen O'Bannon

Unfortunately, several of the musicians of that day did not realize the talent they had. They seemed to think it was enough to just do their thing. Maybe back then it was. I did not really know that much about Jimmny Hendrix until after he died. Wasn’t really into that era of music until I got older. I like a lot of that music now. Isn’t that funny?

It was during the summer before my senior year and I really wanted to go, but my parents would have killed me.

So sad that so many talented people have substance abuse issues and they die so young. Such a waste. Why is that I often wonder?

Thanks for sharing your story. It would be wonderful for someone in and around the White House could be an advocate for disabilities.

Blessings!!

I don’t remember Woodstock at the time. I’ve heard a lot about it after wards.

Thanks for the nudge! Delicious times …

I was married, living and working in New York and did not go with my friends to Woodstock. In many ways I am sorry I did not. Possibly being in photographs or video which circulates our planet and hearing those greats AGAIN in person — that would be so cool. AGAIN, because I am a flower child of the 60’s myself. I went to San Francisco State, weighed 120 pounds ; ) had very long black frizzy hair, and danced bra-less in Golden Gate Park (or at the Fillmore) to most of the bands appearing at Woodstock.

When I heard on the news that the crowds were so immense that food ran out as did fuel and bathrooms, and that it rained, I was kind of glad I was at home that weekend in my upper flat in Queens, laying on my straw mattress on the floor, under a billowing madras bedspread, fastened to the ceiling, with a blue light bulb casting a peaceful glaze over the room.

I did know a girl who was a Hendrix groupie and actually slept with him … well, that’s what she said.
