joeyx:On this day, December 6th, in 1969: Meredith Hunter, who was packed full of methamphetamine, was killed by Hell’s Angel Alan Passaro (who was probably also packed full of methamphetamine) at Altamont Speedway as the Rolling Stones (who were probably packed full of methamphetamine) played “Under My Thumb.”Today’s screening: “Gimme Shelter”Today’s fun fact: “Brown Sugar” was played live for the first time at AltamontToday’s other fun fact: George Lucas was one of the Maysles cameramen but his camera jammed after shooting 100 feet of film. Al Maysles told me that he still thinks Lucas is a “crap cameraman.”Today’s quote: “I ain’t no cop, I ain’t never going to ever pretend to be no cop. I didn’t go there to police nothing, man. They told me if I could sit on the edge of the stage so nobody could climb over me, I could drink beer until the show was over. And that’s what I went there to do.” - Sonny BargerToday’s ill-advised tattoos:http://tinyurl.com/bkg5zpu,http://tinyurl.com/anx9op2 -- source link
