Little background info about this post. I for one was unaware of the sitar but knew the sound it created just had no idea what the instrument was. I enrolled in a "music appreciation"course at my university which consisted of a paranoid elitist ex-hippy just being a huge douche the whole time.... The class consisted of references of our current society to Terminator and him using uncommon words then calling us out on not knowing what the fuck he was talking about. OH!!! and also every class he had to remind us he was in a psych rock band in the 60's..... which aided my assumption that hippies sucked. I LOVE PSYCH ROCK but through the years i have learned i would not like hippies from then, just as much as i hate hipsters and hippie wanna be-s of today's era.



But listen to the legend of the sitar who gained huge recognition during the 60's and everyone wanted to say "they played with Ravi Shankar"




Strangely enough during this shit lesson of a course I had the opportunity to see one of my favorite bands THE BLACK (FUCKING...not really part of the name) ANGELS who use the sitar in numerous songs. The only good opening band for them was Elephant Stone (Rishi Dhir's band), who was the sitar player in those Black Angels songs. The dude was GODDAMN WASTED i mean gone.... cause after his band played he came back to play with the Black Angels and since he came for their last song he decided he would create his own double encore... due to tripping shit i was so focused on what was happening around me. What happened was the lead singer (Alex Mass) was talking off stage to one of the sound guys "What the fuck is going on... i have no idea what he is doing" _____mind you this was unheard by the plain ear cause everyone was yelling "THE FUCKING SITAR..... THE FUCKING SITAR YEEAAAHHH" so he kept playing until Alex Mass Had to pull him away and say "hey man we need to talk....." (that is when they realized their mics were still on...... butt-fuck-it lets here some Elephant Stone






Also why we are talking so educated about diversity and world peace.... which is what im so good at you dont need to tell me. Check out this music that i found from the elitest ex hippie turned "professor" ____ probably the only good thing I got from the class is this...ENJOY! or fuck off
