that's "I'll Play The Blues For you" from Albert King!

well that dude is Albert King, go check out everything he did.

Black people were so cool in those days.

I agree. They were cool because they were becoming natural again with natural hair and dress. Then were overly influenced again and now are almost fully rhythmless. And not so cool now compared to 1972, the era in which we won our civil rights.

It's ironic that around this time, the radical feelings of the 60's were fading fast and Los Angeles County was becoming overrun with crime, gangs, drug use, etc. Within ten years of this, LA was a crack-infested mess.

Sometimes I meet former Back Panthers. Some of them moved on to have careers. Others wound up in jail or on drugs.

But they have one thing in common; they don't like talking about the past.

The "revolution" of the 1960's was a disappointment.

The Panthers chosed the wrong political and economic views. Marxism and Maoism haven't deveoped any countries. Blacks need to develop through capitalist means(business ownership,recycling BLK dollars,investing etc). With $800 billion in spending power why do Blacks have ghettoes?

The "revolution" lost steam in lots of areas outside of LA. Lots of people in smaller cities and towns started the momentum but just did not follow through. The "revolution" became empty slogans and a fashion show for many...pity.

I know what you mean about the "fashion show". Che Guevera became a tee shirt.
