Perhaps you can locate where you are claiming that I called Hendrix anti-war. Since I really don't know whether he was or not, I don't think you will find that. OTOH, the SDS poster which Oatka posted at #36 quoting the Doors with the usual late 1960s "generation gap" blather about my generation taking over from our elders (aka The Greatest Generation) who had the guns while we had the numbers, does remind of the pretensions of the radical left caucus within my generation WHETHER OR NOT Hendrix was personally anti-war. Military service does not insulate one from being anti-war or anti-American. George McGovern flew bombers over Trieste in World War II against the Nazis. He "morally" objected to wars against communists (liberals in a hurry), however.

There was some leftist fantasy movie of that era which centered around a rock group known as Max Storm and the Troopers who were using a slogan "14 or fight" to expand the franchise to include all 14 and older and particularly the gummint edjumacated and brainlaundered liberals among them to speed the transfer of power to their adored celebrities. They got the Senate to vote a constitutional amendment by pouring LSD into the DC water system and physically holding up the arms of tripping Senators to approve their amendment. It has always been a fantasy of the left ever since that the necessary revolution will consist of attending entertaining rock concerts, smoking dope, copping cheap feels and yelling and screaming that will show THEM (us) who is REALLY the boss from now on!!!!
