Much is made about the guitar work of superstar Jimmy Hendrix, whose rendition of the “Star Spangled Banner” forever altered the anthem in the minds of countless baby boomers.
The performance was cemented at Woodstock, the 1969 music festival in upstate New York.
Remembering The Atlanta International Pop Festival
More than a month before more than 400,000 hippies, college students and lost souls traveled to a remote gathering space up north, Atlanta hosted an event that featured many of the same artists.
When Was The Atlanta International Pop Festival?
The official name of Woodstock was “An Aquarian Exposition: 3 Days of Peace & Music,” in ATL, The rock festival was held at the Atlanta International Raceway in Hampton, home of the Atlanta Motor Speedway, on July 4th, 1969.
According to Birmingham Weekly, “The bill was wildly eclectic, from mainstream jazz with Dave Brubeck to first generation rock with Chuck Berry; from sweet soul by the Staple Singers and Booker T to the blues of Canned Heat and Paul Butterfield; from the folk of Ian and Sylvia to the cataclysm of Led Zeppelin. As an intrepid band of explorers from Alabama arrived at the outskirts of Hampton prior to the show amid a stupendous traffic jam, it was clear that word-of-mouth had drawn the crowd Cooley sought.”
Cooley would go on to apologetically host a concert the following Monday in Atlanta’s Piedmont Park, embarrassed that he’d made a $12,000 profit at the pop fest. “You have to understand the context,” Cooley told Atlanta Magazine. “It was the height of the Vietnam War, and Lester Maddox was governor. I wanted to do something that would make people where I lived understand that we could change.”

Holed up in her Atlanta mansion, rapper Cardi B has been sharing updates about her self-isolation due to the coronavirus pandemic. Many celebrities have gone silent about the pandemic, but not Cardi!
The entertainer recently posted a video in which she makes some good points on the mixed messages that the general public is getting concerning COVID-19.
Cardi B: People Are Getting Mixed Messages On COVID-19
If #45 is getting on a podium and saying, ‘Hey listen, if you do not have any symptoms … do not get tested, because we do not have enough tests to test everybody … but if a celebrity is saying, ‘I don’t have no symptoms … and I’m positive for coronavirus,’ that causes confusion,” she said on her IG.
That causes people to say, ‘Wait a minute now, I don’t have no symptoms but I know I went out that day. I might just have it … I”m scared because I’m around my kid, I’m around my grandparents … I might just have it. What should I do?” she said.
She also highlighted the major class lines around COVID-19 that nobody is really talking about.
“The general public, people who work regular jobs, the middle class, the poor …they’re not getting treated like the high — the ones that are up here (she raises her hand), the celebrities and everything — they’re not getting tested for coronavirus [especially not] the next day.”
Another hypocritical thing Cardi B brings out is that, if you’re under 30 and have a cold, helath professinoals are saying that if you don’t have that cold – or similar symptom — for eight days, they won’t test you.
“If you’re positive, they will tell you to quarantine in your home and don’t come back to the hospital] untli your temperature is 100-something degrees,” she says.
Cardi says she doesn’t feel that’s right. Also a lot of people live in close quarters and can’t
“If you’re sending me home and I have the coronavirus, I”m most likely going to give it to my spouse, my kids, anybody that’s around me.”
She also touches on the fact that celebrities have the money to pay for a COVID-19 test, but regular people don’t. So what’s the solution she says?
“I feel like the government should .. charge that [S..] to the game.”
What do you think? Do you agree with Cardi B?
Watch the video below:
Cardi B calls out celebrities & the government:
“If [Trump] is saying ‘if you don’t have any symptoms of the Coronavirus do not get tested because we don’t have enough tests’ but a celebrity is saying ‘I don’t have symptoms but I got tested & I’m positive’ that causes confusion” pic.twitter.com/VgKFqIBH8h

Afropunk’s Carnival of Consciousness Atlanta 2019 is returning this weekend for two days of soulful music, loud and abstract art and colorful and free expression. The dates are Saturday, October 12 & Sunday, October 13.
The event has added a number of musical artists to its lineup, including Anderson .Paak & The Free Nationals, FKA Twigs, with additional performances by Danny Brown, Gallant and more.
Like last year, it will be held on Windsor Street near downtown Atlanta.
The annual festival pays homage to cultural cornerstones through music, film, skate, and art.
Every year, big artists come to Atlanta to perform. In recent years, major acts such as Solange, Willow Smith, Danny Brown and Alice Smith rocked the crowd.
“When we started the festival, it was meant as a platform for alternative black talent and to grow an audience we felt did not understand festival culture and therefore wouldn’t pay for it,” co-founder Matthew Morgan told Billboard.com in 2015. “We put a lot in by supporting the community for 10 years, so to have the community turn around and support the event, we were extremely happy about that.”
The festival will feature Afropunk’s renowned solutions sessions aka the people’s forum + a unique vendor marketplace, The Spinthrift Market.
Tickets to the Carnival of Consciousness are on sale now. You can also volunteer and get an earned ticket by working on site.
