My mom was worried but she didn't go nuts. She threw away the cover to "Pisces, Aquarius, Capricorn and Jones" by the Monkees, but not the vinyl. LOL.
My mom got rid of the cover of my Santana's "Black Magic Woman" album , but let me keep the vinyl. Just after my dad got baptized all my sports cards, Batman/ Green Hornet cards and comics, GI Joes (12") ,etc was all tossed out. Today I see most of these items command a nice premium. I guess they didn't have the foresight I had. lol
Let's face it, as born-ins we did NOT have normal lives. My father had MAJOR freak outs over all kinds of things. I remember he had a seriously major freak out over the Flashdance song. He thought the singer was saying "Take your pants down. And make it happen!" instead of what was actually sung..."Take your passion" (not take your pants down, for heaven's sakes!!!). Gawd.

P.S. You can't play YouTube backwards.
It's funny, but my mother loved it when I played Jimi Hendrix. She especially liked," Foxey Lady, and Purple Haze". I used to play guitar at some of the witnes gatherings, and those two songs where the most requested songs. Those songs, and "Stairway to Heaven" were the favourites.
He thought the singer was saying "Take your pants down. And make it happen!"
Laverite, thanks for the laugh, I'm sure my neighbor heard me laughing too, I think my mother and your father would be in a two way tie as to who was actually worse about playing music. 99.9 percent of the time I would listen to the radio or even watch a channel on TV with music she would say "I don't like that beat, that worldy beat" I'd either turn it down or have to change the channel. Tell me, how many songs do you know of that don't have a beat to them.
Still laughing at that "take your pants down", you never busted out laughing in his face when he said that?
Lived it, survived it i think, orange sunshine, mescaline and lots of those hallucinogens. Crazy stuff.. but have to admit, the surroundings made a big difference...for me, it was better to be alone most of the time...and jimi's all along the watchtower is still an all time favorite. it still moves me...funny when you see 'yourself' as the 'joker' and the 'thief' and the 'many' who think that life is but a joke...the hour getting late! hey....than i was off to another galaxy.
"My Jimi Hendrix experience".....a few days later, guess who knocks on my apt door....

Jimmy Hendrix was a brainwasher. Using subliminal messages and stolen vocals, he brainwashed under the film and music industry control as the industry sought and got power. Blaspemy, tricks with fingers and signs with feet were all performed by Jimi Hendrix and the rest.
Hello BUSTADOLLA and welcome...You are so right about subliminal, music industry, control... kind of like the WTS methods except(maybe) the music.."stolen vocals"?..He sounds original..but maybe you know more..anyway...WELCOME. insot4
