Jimi Hendrix sets his guitar on fire at the Monterey Pop Festival, Monterey California, 1967.
“I was in the audience and I was appalled! It wasn’t the sexuality of the show that appalled me, it was what he did to his instrument. Here he was throwing lighter fluid on his guitar and setting it on fire… and… I had never seen anything like this in my life.” - Michelle Phillips, member of The Mamas and the Papas.
