Jimi Hendrix Frage

Hey! I'm Schreiben this biiiig assignment, which will influence my final grades, and so I have to pick a song Von 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 star, sterne 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 oder political content...

Jimi Hendrix Antwort

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 Zeigen 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.
