This hypothesis could also be substantiated by the sound dynamic from minute 2:00 to 2:15 where the heavy guitar distortion makes the electric guitar sound bouncy - psychedelic. These fifteen seconds might be an alternative offered by Hendrix to the violence that could have arisen from his cover song. In particular, these sounds could be a reference to the Hippie counterculture that developed as an anti-war movement during the sixties. The Hippie movement advocated peace, love, and, also, pleasure. They expressed their disagreement with politicians and society through their style, the music they listened to, their way of speaking and communicating, and the use of recreational drugs.

Few producers throughout the years have been as influential as Phil Spector was to rock music. The techniques he created and popularized in the music he wrote changed both rock music and the way it was recorded. These techniques include doubling and reverbing, both of which contributed to his famous “wall of sound”. Though Phil Spector produced many songs performed by many different artists, there are some which offer stellar representations of the musical developments he made. Such songs include “You’ve Lost That Loving Feeling” and “River Deep, Mountain High”.

The invention of rock & roll was a collaborative effort, yet many music buffs trace its beginnings back to a singer, songwriter, and guitarist named Chuck Berry. Taking what he knew from the blues, big band, swing, country, and pop, Berry developed a style and sound that uniquely spoke to the experience of the American teenager, and that appealed to white as well as black audiences. And he remains, arguably, rock & roll's most influential figure. Among those who admit to having emulated his complex guitar riffs and quick, witty lyrics in their early days are some of the most prominent bands and artists of the past 50 years--including the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan, and Bruce Springsteen. Berry has spent a lifetime in the spotlight, but the spotlight has not always been kind to him.
Without Rock and Roll, many genres of music would never have emerged, such as: garage rock, pop rock, blues rock, and psychedelic rock.

In 1969, during the Woodstock music festival, Jimmi Hendrix played an alternative version of the National Anthem. Some may think this does not represent American values because it was at Woodstock which was a big protest of the Vietnam war. However I think Jimmi Hendrix and everyone else there were perfectly within their rights and regardless of what the message of Woodstock was. He still played the national anthem which is a sign of respect for our country. For much of Jimmi’s early childhood, he was raised by his mother because his dad was fighting in World War II.
