Richie Havens

What You Going To Do About Me

Richie at his best covering the Quicksilver classic

You poisoned my sweet water.

You cut down my green trees.

The food you fed my children

Was the cause of their disease.

My world is slowly fallin' down

And the airs not good to breathe.

And those of us who care enough,

We have to do something.......

(Chorus)

Oh.......oh What you gonna do about me?

Oh.......oh What you gonna do about me?

Your newspapers,

They just put you on.

They never tell you

The whole story.

They just put your

Young ideas down.

I was wonderin' could this be the end

Of your pride and glory?

(Chorus)

I work in your factory.

I study in your schools.

I fill your penitentiaries.

And your military too!

And I feel the future trembling,

As the word is passed around.

"If you stand up for what you do believe,

Be prepared to be shot down."

(Chorus)

And I feel like a stranger

In the land where I was born

And I live like an outlaw.

An' I'm always on the run..........................

An Im always getting busted

And I got to take a stand........

I believe the revolution

Must be mighty close at hand.......................

(Chorus)

I smoke marijuana

But I cant get behind your wars.

And most of what I do believe

Is against most of your laws

I'm a fugitive from injustice

But I'm goin' to be free.

Cause your rules and regulations

They dont do the thing for me

(Chorus)

And I feel like a stranger

In the land where I was born

And I live just like an outlaw.

An' I'm always on the run.

April 7, 1968

New York, NY

Three days after the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King, B.B. King, Joni Mitchell, Janis Joplin/BBHC, the Paul Butterfield Blues Band, Richie Havens, Buddy Guy, and Jimi Hendrix held a musical wake at the Generation Club in Greenwich Village. It was the last show at the shortlived club.

Hendrix later purchased the building and converted it into Electric Lady Studios, one of the many stops on the FREE Trips 'n' Tunes Greenwich Village Trip.

Bonnie MacLean

"One of the GREAT Artists of the Psychedelic sixties left this worldly plane with the passing of Bonnie MacLean on February the 4th, 2020 in Newtown, Pennsylvania.

During the early days of the Fillmore, Bonnie was the most "present" member of the staff. She collected tickets, passed out handbills, blew up balloons and counted money for Fillmore productions. Impressed with her lettering skill on the upcoming attractions chalkboards, Bill Graham (who she later married 1967-1975), surprised her with an easel and art supplies for Christmas, 1967, and her poster artist career was launched. Untrained in graphic arts, her early style evolved into ornate, Medieval-Gothic designs. Faces in her posters wore trance-like stares, steady and serene, and evoke the detached spirituality of the sixties.

Bonnie continued creating artwork to the end.... She will certainly be remembered as one of the True Pioneers of our Psychedelic Poster past."

Freedom - Richie Havens

Good morning and happy Friday.

I've been itching to do this for a while. Today I wanna celebrate the 55th anniversary of Woodstock. Although it preceeded me by a few years, I do feel a connection to the time, the place, the ideas and the music, especially the music. Have a wonderful day full of peace, love and music.

Be Safe Be Kind And Be Awesome
