Indeed, the crowd that gathered on Thursday, May 18, was the largest unofficial public gathering the young people would have seen or even heard about in Soviet Lithuania.

One young man said that he saw a lot of people gathered at the Kalanta house after leaving work about 3: Another, on his way home from work about 6: When he walked past the Musical Theater, he saw a lot of people gathered and went to take a look.
Curiosity also served to downplay political or nationalist motivations that might be unacceptable to authorities. This characterization of young people as unthinkingly manipulated by outside forces rejected an interpretation of the events as a manifestation of real discontent. While this narrative appears clear cut on the surface, it is fraught with ambiguity. Each interpretation in the documents — hooligans, hippies, and politically immature youth — had particular consequences for the political and social environment in Kaunas and for the Communist Party as the ideological vanguard.
The composition of the people who were arrested certainly differed from the characteristics put forth in the May 20 report. According to the report,. This also marked a change from blaming active agents of unrest to blaming young people who were manipulated rather than expressing their own discontent. As the vanguard in the transformation of Soviet society and the only party in the Soviet Union, the Communist Party alone had the responsibility for identifying and eliminating its own flaws.

In his June 2 speech, Guiga concluded that deficiencies in political work and indoctrination were the primary reason that young people were susceptible to the influence of bourgeois propaganda and violated public order. Thus, it is possible to encounter a fairly large number of teenagers on the streets and in parks at He reminded party activists that.
The resolutions that were passed call for concrete measures to be taken to further improve the education and indoctrination of the generation currently reaching adulthood. However, those decrees are not yet everywhere being into practice in the way that they should be. Neither did this interpretation acknowledge real shortcomings on the part of the Soviet Union. In the view of Party officials, these young people did not fully appreciate or take responsibility for the benefits of Communist society. As was typical in Soviet political culture, increased Party organization and more Party efforts in providing the proper Communist political education were said to be the remedies.
This article makes visible the process by which LiCP officials struggled to articulate an ideologically acceptable narrative about the causes of the demonstrations. Rather than simply repeating Party tropes for public consumption, Lithuanian Communist leaders in were actively applying and, more importantly, discarding potential interpretations of the street demonstrations as they attempted to articulate an ideologically satisfactory explanation for the events.
In claiming to have acted out of curiosity, the young people denied intentionality in their participation in the street demonstrations. Indeed, by explaining their acts in such a way, young people consciously or unconsciously articulated the same ideological narrative of the street demonstrations as the Communist Party officials. Kauno Tiesa [Kaunas Truth], May 20, , 6. Institute of Lithuania Studies Press, and V. Mintis Publishers, , The document did not indicate when these visits took place i.
These interviews, conducted nearly forty years after the events were used primarily in this article to describe youth cultural practices at the time. Kaunas Spring ] Vilnius: Sharpe, , Lietuvos Istorijos Instituto Leidykla, The statements rarely indicate what questions were asked, although it is possible to infer certain questions based on common elements contained in the statements.
The statements were primarily handwritten, presumably by a KGB official or stenographer because the handwriting for many of the statements is the same. Each statement is signed at the end by the person from whom it was taken. Several of the individuals were interviewed two or three times with a statement from each interview.
The interrogation statements represent a younger demographic than the statistics provided by the KGB for the total people who were arrested. Stalinism as a Civilization Berkeley — Lost Angeles: Harvard University Press, As a teenager he had joined the army to escape a prison sentence for riding in a stolen car — only to get out again by pretending to be gay, in order to become a full-time musician. Linda Keith was everything he was not: Her boyfriend was Keith Richards of the Rolling Stones. Linda denies that the relationship with Jimi that night was sexual. Within days she bought Jimi a guitar, and with it he began to explore the coffee house scene in Greenwich Village.
On the day he auditioned, Janice Hargrove was in the audience. Jimi played, and everyone in the club was totally blown away, all 15 people. Keith was the kind of guy who might actually kill someone involved with his girlfriend. She was amazed at how he managed to juggle his many girlfriends and how he conned each into thinking she was his sole focus. Despite his philandering, she worked tirelessly to bring him to the attention of the world. He planned to leave the group and he was looking for producing opportunities.
After Linda dragged him to the Wha to hear Jimi play, Chandler became so excited that he spilt a milkshake on his suit. When Chandler invited Jimi to England the idea scared him at first. He knew so little about Britain that he asked whether his new electric guitar would work with British electricity.
Jeffery was a mysterious figure behind the dark glasses he wore at all times. Like many rock managers he used fear and intimidation to his advantage in business dealings.

Immigration laws in Britain were strict, and getting Jimi into the country required correspondence to be forged that made it look as if he was being asked to come to the UK by a promoter. Jimi still had doubts. All he had for luggage was his guitar and a small bag that contained a change of clothes, his pink plastic hair curlers and a jar of Valderma face cream for his acne. He arrived at Heathrow at nine the next morning.
On the way from the airport they stopped by the Fulham house of Zoot Money, a bandleader, and his wife Ronnie. When that failed he grabbed an acoustic guitar. Upstairs year-old Kathy Etchingham was sleeping late after a night out. Etchingham was an attractive hairdresser and part-time DJ.
Bay Area Francophile List This Week!
Etchingham was woken by the commotion downstairs. As he started to play guitar blues, the club went silent and the crowd watched in a shared rapture. Eric Burdon of the Animals was at the club. They would stay together for the next two years, on and off, and Etchingham would be one of his longest-term girlfriends.
