This day in music history.

June 20, 1969, 150,000 people show up for the 3 day Newport Jazz Festival. Some say this is one of the greatest concerts ever held in the U.S.A. The line up includes Jimi Hendrix, Joe Cocker, CCR, Ike and Tina Turner, Jethro Tull, The Rascals and Steppenwolf. Jimi Hendrix was paid $125,000 for his appearance, at the time it was the highest fee ever paid to a single rock act for a single appearance.
If 6 Was 9 by Hendrix
If the sun refuse to shine,
I don't mind, I don't mind,
If the mountains fell in the sea,
let it be, it ain't me.
Alright,
'cos I got my own world to look through,
And I ain't gonna copy you.
Now if 6 turned out to be 9,
I don't mind, I don't mind,
Alright,
if all the hippies cut off all their hair,
I don't care, I don't care.
Dig,
'cos I got my own world to live through
And I ain't gonna copy you.
White collared conservative flashing down the street,
Pointing their plastic finger at me.
They're hoping soon my kind will drop and die,
But I'm gonna wave my freak flag high, high.
Wave on, wave on
Fall mountains, just don't fall on me
Go ahead on Mr. Business man,
you can't dress like me.
Sing on Brother,
play on drummer.
