French T.V

It's very rare that i post twice in a day and even more so that i watch T.V, but here's something that's blowing me away big time.

Since the start of the month, my favorite french T.V channel (ARTE) has been doing a bit of a retrospective of the 1960's and more particulary the summer of love.

I've died and gone to heaven - yup, s'true, i'm a hippie.

I've gone to hippie heaven :@)

We've been treated to films like The Graduate, Barbarella and god knows what else ...

Tonight has been concert night.

As i type i'm watching Jimi Hendrix at Monterrey :



This snippet is what they've just shown.

I absolutely love that whole period of time and really feel that i've missed out on something.

Before that though, we had an hour and a half of The Stones at Altamont.

We saw the hastle they had in getting the thing set up, how everyone demanded 'X' amount of money for insurance, the local police getting jittery about the tens of thousand of young kiddies, all tripped out, coming from all over the states to see the boys perform.



Mick J is told by one of the angels that something 'very bad' has happened.

We see that he's visibly shaken and whilst the guys carry on riffing, you get the feeling that he's seriously, very seriously, thinking about calling it a night.
