Purple HazeLOCATION: Party , New OrleansYEAR: 1967TAGS: Timothy Leary, drugs, flower power, peace, Beatles, WoodstockPUBLISHED: May 1, 2008I remember being at a king cake party and dancing with a boy to the song “Purple Haze.” I kept thinking he didn’t have a clue how to dance, but there was no way I would hurt his feelings and tell him. All of my friends were growing up then and we were desperately trying to stay out of trouble. Usually we’d hang out with guitars and sing or just talk about the world revolving around us. The song “Purple Haze” by Jimi Hendrix brings to mind first and foremost sex, drugs and rock and roll. When I hear this song I immediately think of hanging out with my friends. Everyone was smoking weed and beginning to experiment with drugs. We’d sit in a friend of mine’s garage burn candles and incense and talk for hours on end while listening to Jimi Hendrix and playing albums. Although we had no idea what we were doing at the time, we were all trying to figure out what the world was all about and how the hell we fit into the puzzle. When “Purple Haze” came out, it was the era of tie-dyes and psychedelics. The Beatles came out with Sergeant Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band after their travels to India. Afterwards, everyone who was anyone was ready to start dropping acid. Timothy Leary was experimenting suggesting LSD opened the mind and all in all it was a great time to be growing up. I’m so thankful I was there and experienced it.
