This story about a Native American family wrapped around music, shows how influential some periods of people's lives can really be. I found it really interesting to hear a Native Americans point of view about Woodstock because it is the first time the thought of it crossed my mind. It made me shiver when he talked about influential Jimi Hendrix is. He relied on the music to get him through arguments, sad times, and places in his life that he felt alone. I couldn't believe how improtant The Star Spangled Banner was to him. But it makes sense. The song really carrys so much connotation; peace, war, love, hate, freedom, unity and America. I could only imagine the energy from the crowd when he played this! It makes me want to listen to this song!
A little off subject, it was really creepy when the author spoke about listening to his parent's lovemaking and enjoying it. It was strange how he would think about Jimi Hendrix while they made love.
