Did You Know (Dec 9)

Did you know that at the Monterey Pop Festival in 1968, Jimi Hendrix and The Who were scheduled to go on at the same time? After bickering for a while, it was decided that The Who, who were famous for turning their concerts into theatrical events, would go on first, followed by the Grateful Dead, who just stood there and played. Pete Townshend of The Who smashed his guitar after the show and threw it offstage. Not to be outdone, Jimi (famously) lit his on fire.
