Jimi Hendrix Sets Guitar On Fire

1967
At the Astoria Theatre in London, Jimi Hendrix sets fire to his guitar for the first time, and goes to the hospital after the show with minor burns. During the rest of the tour, Hendrix makes a habit of playing his guitar with his teeth, and he ignites his axe a few more times.

Despite Hendrix's reputation for destroying instruments during his performances, the audience can hardly be expecting such an inflammatory incident: The Jimi Hendrix Experience are at the bottom of the bill, opening up for three much tamer acts: The Walker Brothers, Cat Stevens and crooner Engelbert Humperdinck. As the band perform their new song "Fire," Hendrix throws down his guitar onto the stage, creating an inferno of feedback. With the audience suitably distracted, band manager Chas Chandler covers the instrument with lighter fluid (which was dutifully purchased from the local store by a roadie earlier that day). Hendrix then strikes a series of matches until the Stratocaster is eventually engulfed in four-foot flames. In the heat of the moment, Hendrix fails to realize that he has burned his hands, and after the blaze is extinguished, he completes the song using another guitar. After the show, he attends the local hospital for the treatment of minor burns. The stunt was suggested by rock journalist Keith Altham, and it certainly fuels media coverage of the hot young star. The burning of a guitar becomes the centerpiece of many Experience shows from that point forward, most notably at Monterey later in the year where the stunt is caught on film. In 2008, the charred remains of the Fender Stratocaster that was ignited in the Astoria show are auctioned, raising over half a million dollars.

ΠΟΣΟ ΚΟΣΤΙΖΕΙ Η ΒΕΝΖΙΝΗ ΣΤΙΣ ΗΠΑ



Με τις διεθνείς τιμές του πετρελαίου να έχουν κατατρακυλήσει σε απίστευτα επίπεδα (έπεσα και κάτω από τα 25 δολάρια το βαρέλι) είναι προφανές ότι την αντίστοιχη πτώση θα έχουν και οι τιμές των καυσίμων στα πρατήρια. Ιδίως σε χώρες όπως της Αραβικής Χερσονήσου και τις ΗΠΑ όπου κατά παράδοση η τιμή της βενζίνης ήταν ήδη χαμηλή σε σύγκριση με την Ευρώπη.

Αυτή την στιγμή η μέση τιμή της βενζίνης στα πρατήρια των ΗΠΑ είναι κάτω από τα 2 δολάρια το γαλόνι, ενώ υπάρχουν και περιπτώσεις που πέφτει και κάτω από το 1,5 δολάριο. Αυτό σημαίνει ότι με 1,4 του ευρώ και με 3,78 λίτρα στο γαλόνι, το 1 λίτρο βενζίνης έρχεται περίπου στα 35 λεπτά του ευρώ. Σε κάποιες Πολιτείες ή αλυσίδες καταστημάτων η τιμή αυτή είναι ακόμα χαμηλότερη, πέφτοντας και κάτω από τα 30 λεπτά του ευρώ για κάθε λίτρο. Και όλα αυτά με πτωτική τάση.

Η τιμή αυτή δίνει στον Τραμπ τις απαραίτητες “προφάσεις” για να προχωρήσει σε άνοιγμα της οικονομίας χωρίς να υπολογίζει τις απώλειες σε ανθρώπινες ζωές (θα δούμε αν όντως το επιχειρήσει). Ενώ παράλληλα στριμώχνονται για κάποιο διάστημα και οι πωλήσεις των ηλεκτρικών, καθώς με αυτή την τιμή, η αγορά ενός κλασικού μοντέλου είναι πολύ πιο λογική και οικονομική επιλογή.

Σε ότι αφορά την Ελλάδα, οι τιμές τα βενζινάδικα είναι αλήθεια ότι έχουν πέσει, όχι όμως στον βαθμό που θα περίμενε κανείς. Αυτό οφείλεται και στο γεγονός ότι ελάχιστα αυτοκίνητα κυκλοφορούν πλέον έξω, οπότε και η πτώση της τιμής δεν προσφέρει και κάποιο σημαντικό κέρδος στη μεγαλύτερη πλειοψηφία των “Ελεύθερων Πολιορκημένων” του κορωναϊού.

Το σίγουρο είναι πάντως ότι όταν θα έρθει η ώρα να ξαναβγούμε στους δρόμους, ,οι τιμές θα έχουν ξαναβρεθεί εκεί που τις αφήσαμε, γιατί ως γνωστόν στην Ελλάδα η τιμή της βενζίνης κατεβαίνει αργά αλλά ανεβαίνει μέσα σε μια νύχτα.
