Hippie (also hippy) is a term originally used to describe some of the rebellious youth of the 1960s and 1970s. The word hippie was popularized by the late San Francisco Chronicle columnist Herb Caen. Caen's articles were always written with the help of notes and letters from his San Francisco fan base. He is also credited as among the first to include the words beatnik and yuppie in his column. Though not a cohesive cultural movement with manifestos and leaders, some hippies expressed their desire for change with ...

Although most of the movie Dead Presidents takes place in the Bronx, it's the segment away from New York that drives the story. This is the story of a black man who goes off to war as a relative innocent, and returns a decorated hero whose only scars are inside. His re-acclimatization to civilian life is difficult, but, unlike some of his friends, he never turns to drugs, and isn't averse to working hard to earn a living. Sometimes, however, goo ...

1969 and Woodstock had been the last hurrah of the 'Love Generation'. The peace and love movement that began in San Francisco in 1967 was on its last legs at Woodstock, and 12 months later the mood of a small but violent minority of the attendees had become much more cynical and militant. Activists, particularly from France, were incensed that the festival was not intended to be 'free' and felt that the double-walled arena was a clear example of an oppression of the masses that should be resisted and smashed, so that the musicians could play ...

On March 2, 1999, brothers Alan and Neal Evans invited guitarist Eric Krasno to cut some tracks with them in their home studio in Woodstock, New York. That jam session became their first EP, Get Down!, and the band shortly thereafter realized their potential together and hit the road to begin touring. It was during that first summer together that the band recorded their first LP, Turn It Out, for Velour Recordings. Turn It Out featured various distinguished guest musicians, including John Scofield, Oteil Burbridge, and Sam Kini ...

In the 1940s and 1950s the term hipster came into usage by the American Beat generation to describe jazz and swing music performers, and evolved to also describe the bohemian-like counterculture that formed around the art of the time. The 1960s hippie culture evolved from the beat culture, and was greatly influenced by changing music style and the creation of rock & roll from jazz. The first use of the word hippie on television was on WNBC TV Channel 4 in New York City at the opening of the New York World's Fa ...

His expanding musical horizons were accompanied by a deterioration in his relationship with bandmates (particularly Redding), and the Experience broke up in 1969. On 4 January 1969 he was accused by television producers of arrogance after playing an impromptu version of "Sunshine of Your Love" past his allotted time slot on the BBC1 show Happening for Lulu, apparently as a tribute to Cream after learning the band broke-up. This track with Hendrix saying "they are taking us off the air" is preceded by a very heavy version of Hey Joe and is featured on BBC Sessions , massive amounts of sustain feedback and note bending ...

Hendrix was born Johnny Allen Hendrix in Seattle, Washington, the son of Al Hendrix and Lucille Jeter. His mother was an alcoholic and died young of cirrhosis when Jimi was aged 15, providing Hendrix with a musical muse which he would later express in his songs, for example, "Little Wing". His father, after returning from World War II, legally renamed him James Marshall Hendrix. He grew up shy, sensitive, and full of confusion. His hero was Robert Derouin. Like his contemporaries John Lennon and Paul McCartney, Hendrix was deeply affected by ...

Increasing personality differences with Noel Redding, combined with the influence of drugs, alcohol and fatigue, led to a trouble-plagued tour of Scandinavia. On 4 January 1968, Hendrix was jailed by Stockholm police, after trashing a hotel room in a drunken rage. The band's third recording, a double album, Electric Ladyland (1968), is more eclectic and experimental than previous recordings. It features a lengthy blues jam ("Voodoo Child"), the jazz-inflected "Rainy Day, Dream Away/Still Raining, Still Dreaming", and what is pr ...

The 1967 release of the group's first album, Are You Experienced, is a mix of melodic ballads ("The Wind Cries Mary"), pop-rock ("Fire"), psychedelia ("Third Stone from the Sun"), and blues ("Red House"), and is a template for much of their later work. Hendrix went to a hospital with burns to his hands after setting his guitar on fire for the first time at the Astoria theatre in London on 31 March 1967. Later, after causing damage to amplifiers and other stage equipment at his shows, Rank Theatre management war ...

On 15 October 1965, Hendrix signed a 3-year recording contract with entrepreneur Ed Chalpin, receiving $1 and 1% royalty on records with Curtis Knight. The contract later caused litigation with Hendrix and other record labels. By 1966 he had his own band, Jimmy James and The Blue Flames, and a residency at the Cafe Wha? in New York City. During this period Hendrix met and worked with singer-guitarist Ellen McIlwaine and guitarist Jeff "Skunk" Baxter.
