Jimi Hendrix Domanda

Hey! I'm Scrivere this biiiig assignment, which will influence my final grades, and so I have to pick a song da Jimi Hendrix to analyse. I should deal with the society in USA in th 60's. Know any, cause I sure don't..

Of course there's his version of stella, star spangled banner at Woodstock back in 1969, but I don't write in music, but history and english, so I will need som lyrics to analyse, and can't find any with social o political content...

Jimi Hendrix Risposte

DaleRudy said:
Look up 'Machine Gun' on youtube. Jimi sings about the Viet Nam war. It was one of his best protest songs. I have a live performance of it on the DVD of the Dick Cavett mostra circa 1970. Also listen to 'House Burning Down', Jimi's angst against the Watts riots where there was alot of senceless violence that was racially motivated. The late sixties were rife with all kinds of tensions. Good luck on your paper. Dale.
