You're an ultra-softie (oh wait, so am I ). You'll need 3-ply for this film.

Plankton

Ooo, industrial strength. Nice.

You folks know that Kath was possibly Hendrix's favorite player back then?

Jimi knew Terry was a bad, bad dude on that telecaster!

I did, yes. And now Big3 knows it too bc he spent an hour on his Wiki page. It's in the first paragraph, but I don't think it took him that long to get to that point.

Pffft.....

OG Cavett Show

The question was something like, "What's it like being considered the best guitarist?"

Jimi scoffed and brought up Kath, telling Cavett that HE was the best.

Such a wonderful tribute and a beautiful gift to the world she created. So much nostalgia and memories, both good and not so good, which is really just how life is. The music of Chicago just reminds me of my own Dad so much, and all the times we had together while driving around in his custom van as he blasted Chicago, War, Vangelis, Zeppelin, and a ton of other 8-tracks from that era. I enjoyed this so much, so thank you for posting it here, which gave me the little push I needed to push play.

Think I'll double up on the meds before I watch.

I ****ing blubber these days over commercials showing folks getting their on-line diplomas.

Funny, seems like your dad and I could have attended the same concert at one point or another. Cruising with 8 tracks.....

Unless you were there at the time they came out you just can't grock how HUGE a deal it was for cruising. Modern sci-fi like tech - albums in the car!

A pair of Jenson 6x9 co-axials installed in the rear deck, a big brick of a player bolted underneath the dash (no such thing as retrofit), and the greatest stoner cruising music of all time.

Other than the requisite matchbook wedged under the tape to eliminate double tracking, the only suck was longer tunes getting chopped to fit within the 4 available 'sides'.

"You know you shook me baaaaaaaaaaabe........
You shook me allllllllll niiiiiiiiiight longgg (FAST fade out)

static CLUNK static

(EVEN FASTER fade in) ggggggggggg............ DUM DUM DA DUM."

Ah yes, track spanning. The fly in the 8-track ointment.

So glad you liked the doc, and that it brought back some fond memories of your Dad. Must have been so much fun blasting music together in the van! No surprise you "lost it" during that moment in the film. I "lost it" at many different points while viewing and I've watched the entire thing probably about five times now. And keep crying at the same moments!
