Jimi Hendrix's Life After The Vietnam War

Purple Haze was one of Hendrix more faithful songs that he had written in his music career. “When his song purple Haze was written it was claimed that Hendrix had dreamed of walking under the sea, that was how the song was inspired.” Adding on,The dreams was about how Hendrix faith in god had saved him from the Purple Haze surrounding him, coming across, leaving Jimi with a terrible feeling of being lost. The inspiration of the song was hard to think that one dream had created such an emotional song filled with belief. Moving on, during his dream he had more of a fear coming over him like a dark fong that he couldn,t break from. Thus, he had the faith in the lord to bring him up from the evil. When Jimi Hendrix had this dream I always wondered what he was feeling when I heard of this inspiration, adding on, did anyone even ask how this dream brought up a feeling inside of his beating heart that just made him have to write such a moving song. Not to mention one of his best. Jimi Hendrix said, “I'm the one that has to die when it's time for me to die, so let me live my life, the way I want to.”

Half a million people stood under the sun, beneath the stars, and in the rain to peacefully protest, listen to music, and express their personal and artistic freedom at a place called Woodstock. During a time when Americans were pitted against each other because of war and turbulence, the three day festival, Woodstock, would influence a cultural change with its peace, love, and ambience.

He feels Yanagi’s pain through the connection but he does not draw attention to it. To be in the heat of a powerplay game such as the one boiling over in Konoha right now is a moment of extreme delicacy and ruthlessness; attachments are withheld, persons numbed down. The rampant mentality is this: eliminate those who are likely to get in one’s way, even if they are friends, or valuable allies. Nobody who lived through the Warring States Era would be unfamiliar with this tenet: do what must be done. And if Tobirama was forced to choose among the Yamanaka twins, he would keep Yanagi alive, simply because she is now the more valuable of the two, even though Yanagi herself and most definitely, not Osamu, would admit it. For to dabble in politics is to know who has value, worth and utility, and who do not.

In 1961 the worst war ever fought by America had just started. The Vietnamese of the north also known as the Viet Cong had invaded the south to take control of the entire country. America and other democratic countries felt the spread of communism to this country would be a stepping-stone for other communistic countries around the world, also known as the Domino Effect. America, as cocky as they were, invaded Vietnam to help the southern Vietnamese. Although America is one of the most powerful countries in the world, it extremely underestimated the dedication of their enemy. Backed by China and the USSR, the Viet Cong were a determined and very tough enemy. The Vietnam War as a whole was a terrible act by the US government. Vietnam was

As communism began to spread steadily and gain more and more attention, Americans became immensely concerned in what most saw as a detrimental threat. President Eisenhower only added to the hysteria by outlining the Domino Theory: the theory that a political event, in this case referring to the spread communism, in one country will cause a similar turn of events in neighboring countries, like a falling domino that causes an entire row to fall down. Although the Vietnam War is seen by many as the only option to try to end the spread of communism, the specious outcome of the war was not effective enough to justify the amount of unethical decisions and situations that were allowed to take place. In 1961, under President Kennedy, 100 Special Forces troops were sent to South Vietnam and by 1963, just two years later, U.S military advisors and Special Forces had increased to 21,000 troops. We will soon see that this is just the beginning and in my paper I will outline the full record of events all the way to the end of the war, including the reasons for U.S involvement, unethical decisions that were made, America 's effort to end the war, and the lasting impact the war had on the United States.

1) What was Martin Luther King's position on the Vietnam War? Please identify at least five of King's arguments. Based upon your readings, and the films do you agree with King's analysis? Why or why not?

Movies are a fun and modern source for entertainment that often try to depict events that took place in real life. Many films based on real life events are often criticized for being inaccurate or altering much of the storyline. Others are also praised for being as accurate as possible and portraying the character’s traits in the best way. The 2013 American war film “Lone Survivor” is one of those movies that did a little of both. This is not necessarily a negative thing as I really enjoyed the movie and thought it was overall a good film and a great depiction of the events that happened in the operation in which the U.S. navy SEALs we involved. There are many war films out there that probably give us a better depiction of what war really looks

The Vietnam War was one of the longest wars that went on history. It lasted from November 1955- April 1975. According to Historynet, 58,200 members of the U.S. military were killed in the Vietnam War. All for what exactly? In my own opinion, I do not think the U.S. should have gotten involved. Our country is always concerned with being the “big brother” to all countries. When in all reality, this war was no concern of our own. It was between South Vietnam, and North Vietnam. This war goes down in history as the only war the U.S. has yet to lose. All of that could have been avoided, had we just stayed out of others controversy.

The vietnam war was a time of grief for many who left their homeland and traveled thousands of miles on rocky ships to foreign lands with foreign languages. Homes were abandoned, paperwork was feverishly gathered, and there was hope for a better life out of vietnam. Scattered within refugee camps across the world, the “boat people” desperately waited for their new life, hoping for the best. However depending on when they resettled and what their reason for leaving Vietnam was, these immigrants and refugees had different experiences starting a new life socially and economically.

By the conclusion of the 1960s, one of the most tumultuous and divisive decades in modern American history, the Vietnam War was fought on not one, but two battle fronts — the horrific jungles of Southeast Asia, and at home, in the hearts and minds of the millions of American families torn to shreds by the conflict. As the war dredged along, passive complacency regarding Vietnam was replaced with a fiery pacifistic passion, driving students to protest the war at Kent State University in Kent, Ohio on May 4, 1970, culminating in the tragic deaths of four innocent students at the hands of the Ohio National Guard. In response to the chaotic and corrupt sociopolitical culture of the time, popular musicians all across the nation wrote songs that

Wars are fought for freedom and independence and usually when soldiers come home we receive them with open arms ready to praise them and thank them for putting their lives on the line. If you were asked to describe a soldier, you’d probably say heroic, brave, courageous, or honorable. After the Vietnam War, parades weren’t the welcoming soldiers got; instead, they were shunned and booed at.

Throughout history people have always had different ideologies about society. During the 1960's this statement is evident. Some people wanted to stop the war in Vietnam, while others wanted to stay in the war. In today's society, American citizens argue over money, how parents should take care of their kids, and the government controlling people's lives. If we go back twenty years to the 1990's the same problems are there. Chris McCandless was one such person that did not agree with everything that society threw at him including money and family. He liked his life at home and loved his parents, but he felt something was missing from what he wanted. The way his family plays into society just does not agree with him. So he leaves home, goes on

Upside down differently tuned and with the best afro of his time, Jimi Hendrix Turned the music industry inside out. “He played this really long solo and he has this wammy bar and he's doing all these thing and it put his guitar super out of tune and he looks into the crowd and asks Eric Clapton to tune his guitar… And I just remember thinking oh my god this guy is going to be bigger than me”(Paul McCartney Tells the Story About Jimi Hendrix Toronto, August 9, 2010 Unique Video).Through his controversial style and music he made the Rock legends of his day stop and stare. His unique and individualized sound started an entire generation of music we now know as psychedelic rock. Many people wonder where Hendrix got his unique sound.

Throughout time, music has been an influential part of society. As a form of entertainment and expression, its impact has always been felt both economically and emotionally. During the Vietnam war, music evolved into more a form of expression rather than pure entertainment. Emotionally charged songs became a method to oppose the war, and vent frustrations. While many songs opposed the war, numerous others focused on peace and happiness. They provided a positive perspective in an otherwise depressing time. Along with incorporating passion into music, cultural diversity increased in music greatly. Black artists became progressively more popular and accepted in the musical scene. This respect

“Dad told me not to judge combat veterans. Until I experienced combat, I couldn’t understand the emotions that come from battle.”
