Thank you for this one Linh. Amplified guitar fascinates me. I read an interview where Iggy Pop got philosophical and said something like Mr. Paul's invention of the amplified guitar was like throwing a live wire into the soul of Man. He also said that he thinks technology is going to pick us up and shake us roughly. Steve Sailer compared Woodstock to the delayed victory party for the children whose parents "won" WW2. Maybe Altamont later that year presaged darker days ahead.
I listen to a lot of Mississippi hill country blues and this has a similar, almost hypnotic joy to it.

Ahhh, dudes are jamming on the back of a flatbed! That's how it's supposed to be done. A real party!
