Grace, that was Brian Epstein's idea in suiting them up that way. Besides, you were old yourself at 27 years of age in 1966, in 1969 you were 30 years old.

Well,how ironic, that Ravi was angry that hippies thought they had to do psychedelics to meditate and play the sitar,etc. How was he never able to get that through to all the hippie shits in Frisco? Or anywhere else? Just shows ,for the umpteen-thousandth time,how childish,self-righteous,not-so-intellectually-superior (among too many rotten characteristic traits ) the hippies,and Lefty Boomers were.
Hi @Substantive64, I met Ravi in San Diego when I was studying at UCSD, which is where Ravi was teaching as a Regents Prof. Anyhow, I asked Ravi about the Beatles and hippies in general, and I assure you he doesn't have any negative feelings about them. He's a smart man, and well aware that it was the hippies who brought Ravi to the attention of Western listeners. Right wing boomers were definitely not interested in Ravi or anything off the Western axis for that matter.
@Substantive64 -Hey buddy, are you just blowing out your hole from what your momma told you about the nasty hippies or are you old enough to have gotten turned down by some foxy hippie girl who told you what a log you were?
There was no call for the name calling tripe you flushed into the discussion, and contrary to your name, you give so substance, just hyperbole masquerading as thought. Only idiots look at everything from their little lefty/righty dichotomy. You get what you give.
Grace Slick is far, FAR too modest about her voice. I sing classical music and I can't belt it out like her. Everybody's gotta do something, and she did what she did very well.
@MidnightDC696969 The song is "For What It's Worth" by the Buffalo Springfield. The band's members included some names you might recognize: Stephen Stills (who wrote that song), Neil Young, Richie Furay, Bruce Palmer (later replaced by Jim Messina) and Dewey Martin. It's ironic to hear them in documentary about psychedelic rock, because they were really the progenitors of the LA sound that dominated the '70's (Young himself said The Eagles carried on "the spirit of the Buffalo Springfield").
the hippies were only practicing what the Indian culture had already been practicing for hundreds of years. except in our case we needed drugs to reach it.
Mushrooms, frogs, flying reindeers, they are part of the iconography of fairy tales. Sustances. Shamanism, the common religion for siberians, maya, aztecs and many other cultures. But the sustances were dangerous, so complex rituals and initiations were required to take them. The result is some disconnection for the reality, but which is considered as an opening, to a different spiritual world. But then you start seeing ghosts and shadows everywhere...
wtf. I don't see why these people never put the doors or jim morrison in this documentry! they were one of the greatest physedelic rock groups ever...what a pity.
lmfao, okay. your saying a band who got number one on the charts for "light my fire" ine year of their debut album is poopy? are you saying that making 7 albums, JUST including morrison in a short amount of time is poopy? someone who didnt give a shit about the media and rebeled to the world to prove that all of us are zombies to the media? someone whos life is still celebrated all over the world. whos band was one of the most influencial bands of all time? Got a movie made in honor of them.
Poppy like in POP. Popular music. Like britney spears music.
Don't know how it was in the sixties but there is a difference in real music and pop music in the charts which is propably in the charts because the frontman is lust object for teenage girls. And the girls really love Jim Morrison.
But the Doors meade grate music. No doubt about it. But it is was aimed for a greater audience.
the doors are just amazing no1 is ever or ever could copy there stlye of music. dont you notice how no1 is influenced by them....bc its just impossible to door there gonna be a one and only band to never be imitated
when i first heard velvet underground i thought tht lou reed was jim morrison to me they sounded alike and i like both bands and i dont understand if ur agreeing with me or disagreeing
Nah, Jim has a great voice like Sinatra or Martin. Lou reed is very nasal and at that time he tried to sound like the N.Y girl groups . Morrison sound was more 1940's American pop. I just find the Doors very overrated and plain.
