1970 was the last year of the 'sixties, and these three died in September and October.<\/span><\/p>\n

Alan 'Blind Owl' Wilson<\/a> of Canned Heat<\/em>.  Date of death: 2 September 1970.  Cause: "acute accidental barbituate intoxication."  I saw him live with Canned Heat<\/em> in 1968 in a club named  Kaleidoscope<\/a> on Sunset Boulevard  in Hollywood.  Wilson's high-pitched voice drew jeers from some members of the audience.  On the Road Again<\/a>.  Going Up the Country<\/a>.  On the bill with them when I saw them at the Kaleidoscope was an obscure psychedelic band name of "Fever Tree."  They were damned good as witness The Sun Also Rises <\/a>and San Francisco Girls<\/a> and Nowadays Clancy Can't Even Sing<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Jimi Hendrix.  Date of death:  18 September 1970.  Cause: unclear.  In '67 I heard him play The Wind Cries Mary<\/a> at the Monterey Pop Festival. Third Stone from the Sun<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Janis Joplin. Date of Death: 4 October 1970.  Cause: heroin overdose. She was at Monterey too.  My favorite  is her rendition of Kris Krisofferson's Me and Bobby McGee<\/a>.  Otherwise, I didn't much like her vocal stylings: too screechy and screamy.  Dead 42 years, she's been dead longer than she lived.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
