Even though I had a ride to Woodstock, I backed out because I really didn't have the money to sustain myself there. And my folks didn't have the resources to bail me out if I got stranded or busted. For starters, do you think my dad was going to let me use his lime-green Buick LeSabre to Woodstock? How else would he get to his factory job? Yeah. Once upon a time, there were one-car families.
My consolation is that I saw Jimi Hendrix in concert in February 1968 in a small, seedy nightclub called "The Scene." But the question remains: Am I suffering in a purple haze, or suffering from purple sour grapes? (Speaking of purple, there was a band called Moby Grape.)
Join the million or so people who have watched/listened to Jimi on Yazgur's Farm, doing "Purple Haze."
I still don't know how to drop in a live URL...but anyway, after you laugh at me, read about Max Yazgur, who let this huge party HAPPEN on his expansive farmland yard...

Welcome to Maass Media!
My goal for this blog is to share the music I listen to with as many people as possible. If this is your first time here, all you need to know is that everyday I post good songs from different genres of music. There is a list of genres on the left - clicking on a genre will lead you to a list of songs (with links to hear them) that I have posted on my blog.
Any time you see a portion of text in brown that means it's a link. If you want to leave a comment, click on the comment box at the bottom of the post you want to comment on. Rock on!
