What Are You Listening To?

I've been listening to two absolute classics referencing the Hippie Movement in the U.S. in the mid/late 1960s.

"San Francisco" by Scott McKenzie (with lyrics at the bottom of the screen):

San Francisco, California, U.S.A. became something of a "Mecca" for Hippies. Such idealism!

"Get Together" by The Youngbloods:

a video "slideshow" -- showing absolutely beautiful nature photography -- with the lyrics superimposed on top. This video is so poetic/sensual, it almost makes you want to cry.

An absolutely unbeatable classic from the "psychedelic era" of the 1960s in the U.S., "Purple Haze", by The Jimi Hendrix Experience:

The first few times I heard the song, I thought Jimi was singing, "Excuse me while I kiss this guy". But later it was pointed out to me that he was actually saying "Excuse me while I kiss the sky". I guess that's quite a big difference in meaning, isn't it ? (lol)
