~¥~ HAIR ~¥~

Hair is a 1979 film adaptation of the 1968 Broadway musical of the same title about a Vietnam war draftee who meets and befriends a tribe of long-haired hippies on his way to the army induction center. The hippies introduce him to their environment of marijuana, LSD, and unorthodox relationships.


The film was directed by Milos Forman, who was nominated for a César Award for his work on the film. Cast members include Treat Williams, John Savage, Beverly D'Angelo, Don Dacus of the rock band Chicago, Annie Golden, Dorsey Wright, Nell Carter, Ellen Foley, Charlotte Rae as well as Johnny Maestro, Jim Rosica and Fred Ferrara of the rock group The Brooklyn Bridge, and The Stylistics. Dance scenes were choreographed by Twyla Tharp and performed by the Twyla Tharp Dance Foundation. The film was nominated for a Best Picture Golden Globe Award, and Williams was nominated for a Golden Globe as New Star of the Year in a Motion Picture - Male.
In this adaptation of the hit Broadway musical, a naive farm boy from Oklahoma named Claude Hooper Bukowski (John Savage) heads to New York City to enlist in the Army and serve in the Vietnam War. In Central Park, he meets a troupe of free-spirited hippies led by a young man named George Berger (Treat Williams), who introduce him to a debutante named Sheila Franklin (Beverly D'Angelo). Inevitably, Claude is sent off to boot camp in Nevada, but Berger and his band of merry pranksters including Woof Daschund (Don Dacus), LaFayette "Hud" Johnson (Dorsey Wright) and Jeannie Ryan (Annie Golden) do what they can to rescue Claude from a tour of duty in Vietnam.

Arguably, the most extreme change is Berger's death in the finale. In the original play it is Claude who dies in Vietnam. The film was shown out of competition at the 1979 Cannes Film Festival.

~¥~ Woodstock ~¥~

James Marshall "Jimi" Hendrix (born Johnny Allen Hendrix; November 27, 1942 –September 18, 1970) was an American guitarist, singer and songwriter. He is often considered to be the greatest electric guitarist in the history of rock music by other musicians and commentators in the industry, and one of the most important and influential musicians of his era across a range of genres. Hendrix was born on November 27, 1942, in Seattle, Washington, while his father was stationed at an Army base in Oklahoma. He was named Johnny Allen Hendrix at birth by his mother, 17-year-old Lucille Hendrix née Jeter.Bad weather and logistical problems caused long delays, so that Hendrix did not appear on stage until Monday morning.
By this time, the audience (which had peaked at over 500,000 people) had been reduced to, at most, 180,000, many of whom merely waited to catch a glimpse of Hendrix before leaving. Festival MC Chip Monck introduced the band as "The Jimi Hendrix Experience", but Hendrix quickly corrected this to "Gypsy Sun and Rainbows, for short it's nothin’ but ‘A Band Of’ Gypsies" and launched into a two hour set, the longest of his career. The band, unused to playing large audiences and exhausted after being up all night, could not always keep up with Hendrix's pace, but in spite of this the guitarist managed to deliver a memorable performance, climaxing with his highly-regarded rendition of the The Star-Spangled Banner,a solo improvisation which is now regarded as a special symbol of the 1960s era.
This expanded band did not last long. After the Woodstock festival they appeared on only two more occasions. After some studio recordings, Hendrix disbanded the group. Their final work together was a session on September 6.[101] Hendrix's September 9 appearance on TV's Dick Cavett Show, backed by Cox, Mitchell and Juma Sultan, was credited as the "Jimi Hendrix Experience".
Early on September 18, 1970, Jimi Hendrix died in London under circumstances which have never been fully explained. He had spent the later part of the previous evening at a party and was picked up by girlfriend Monika Dannemann and driven to her flat at the Samarkand Hotel, 22 Lansdowne Crescent, Notting Hill. According to the estimated time of death, from autopsy data and statements by friends about the evening of September 17, he would have died within a few hours after midnight, though no precise estimate was made at the original inquest.
Hendrix's body was returned to Seattle and he was interred in Greenwood Memorial Park, Renton, Washington. As the popularity of Hendrix and his music grew over the decades following his death, concerns began to mount over fans damaging the adjoining graves at Greenwood, and the growing, extended Hendrix family further prompted his father to create an expanded memorial site separate from other burial sites in the park. The memorial was announced in late 1999, but Al Hendrix's deteriorating health led to delays and he died two months before its scheduled completion in 2002.

Purple haze are in my brain
Lately things don't seem the same
Acting funny but I don't know why
Excuse me while I kiss the sky
Purple haze all around
Don't know if I'm coming up or down
Am i happy or in misery?
What ever it is that girl putt a spell on me
Help me ... help me oh I don't know
Purple haze was all in my eyes
Don't know if it's day or night
You've got me blowin', blowin' my mind
Is it tomorrow or just the end of time

Who knows?
Help me
Yeah
Come on
Tell me
Tell me

Motivation (Douglas Brown)

Motivation (Douglas Brown)

Motivation (intrinsic or extrinsic) is a complicated topic, because there are many theories of how to motivate students, however these theories, in practice, are not always effective. We can say that there are “many questions to few answers”.
We as teachers have the daily challenge of finding ways to stimulate our students, in other words to motivate them. After all, there is not learning without motivation.
To make this possible, it is necessary dialogue between teachers and students. This way we will know what to do to captivate them. Thus we need to include in our planning what the students want to learn, so we are going to motivate them even more. Otherwise they lost their motivation over time.
As teachers, it is very important we know the theories that we are using in our classes (there is no right or wrong). We have an obligation to know what we are doing (not just following the intuition).
Knowing these elements we will be contributing to the improvement of education!
