I found this article difficult to follow, mostly because I'm not familiar with the people or event, and it begins with rhetoric assuming the reader is familiar.

I found this article difficult to follow, mostly because I'm not familiar with the people or event, and it begins with rhetoric assuming the reader is familiar. Here's a list of the "characters".

- rhacker 9y agoThank you for listing this out- while I enjoyed the article, I did feel at a bit out of touch not knowing the background.
- rmason 9y agoI was a big fan of Dick Cavett's show, it was a higher brow show than the others. I went looking for his interview of Jimi Hendrix to post which happened during Woodstock but sadly couldn't find it on YouTube. But here's a short clip where he tells Cavett who he thought was the best guitarist in the world. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RJxiCZwP_GI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RJxiCZwP_GI Here's Cavett interviewing John and Yoko Lennon: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7kXCnKfdGOY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7kXCnKfdGOY
- cup-of-tea 9y agoI'd never heard of Dick Cavett nor the guest and didn't find it hard to follow at all. It was a good read.
