A TRIBUTE TO JIMI HENDRIX
Rainbow Bridge, My Summer of Love I still recall the very first time I ever saw Jimi Hendrix. It was at the Newport Pop Festival at Devonshire Downs in Northridge, California, not more than a few miles from my home. It was June 20, 1969, just before I ran away from home. I will never forget that concert. It was a huge three-day event with two stages, the first of its kind to be held in Los Angeles. I was behind the fence because I couldn’t afford the ticket price, since my parents wouldn’t give me the $7 entrance fee required to get in. I found myself outside the fence, just behind the stage, with all these Hells Angels and L.A. street racers who were providing security for t The cops were out in force with their billy clubs and riot gear. As soon as Jimi started playing, they all lined up and started coming at us in their attack formation, pushing us like animals. We all ran in separate directions, and rocks and bottles went flying through the air in the middle of the intersection of Devonshire Boulevard and Zelzah.

ACM'S are here, and gone..... But they have not been forgotten... Let me tell I had chills the whole show, and that is rare..... Some performances I could've done without, and some people I feel like got snubbed. We all know that I was very excited to see my homie, my best friend who does not know I exist Morgan Wallen perform..... He will one day see me and become best friends with me, I just know it.....But back to the ACMS, this was one of the weirdest ones I have ever watched. Due to Covid, precautions were at an all time high, and well, they did their thing. So here are my thoughts about the performances and some of the winners who won, like I said I feel like Luke Combs should've won Entertainer of the Year, but he won 2 awards so we're good; I think.... But maybe we are not..... Everything about certain performances made me have chills that I did not know existed. Also before I forget, Old Dominion winning song of the year just makes me happy, ok? Thats my song... And if I missed anything I am so sorry, it was a 3 hour long show that I spent two days watching cause your girl is exhausted. Comment down below your favorite part, or performance from the ACM's and do not forget Morgan Wallen is my best friend.

Music has a method of influencing how we really feel and think. The ideal type of music may make us feel fine and let's consider action that would usually be hard, or challenging for us, even while the wrong sort will make us feel poor and at times even helpless. And unlike most other kinds of stimulants which could change perception, music sounds like a much better choice, believing that we simply should hear it.
