Thanks Aubie84. Beautiful anthem by Hendrix - gets me every time.
And satyagraha, that is a beautiful comment.
Thank you both.
To me, the power and feeling of that performance encompassed and made transcendent poetry of both America's best (the soaring impulse toward glorious unity) and worst (unleashing of overwhelming military violence). It's all in there. Walt Whitman would have been proud.
The Aesthetic Thesis of Hendrix:
