The interviewer, Rose Aguilar, says, “I met Charmaine Felton, a retired teacher who hasn’t spoken out before this movement began, at Occupy Monterey in California.”
She taught for 35 years and believes that teachers need to take back their profession by speaking out more forcefully for what’s best for children. “We’ve had enough.”
Charlene says that for too long, teachers have allowed other people to say what the teaching profession does, or should do, and it is time for teachers to step up and let their voices be heard.
The Monterey International Pop Music Festival was a three-day concert event held June 16 to June 18, 1967 at the Monterey County Fairgrounds in Monterey, California. Monterey was the first widely-promoted and heavily-attended rock festival, attracting an estimated 55000 total attendees with to 90000 people present at the event’s peak at midnight on Sunday.
It was notable as hosting the first major American appearances by Jimi Hendrix and The Who, as well as the first major public performances of Janis Joplin and Otis Redding.
The Monterey Pop Festival embodied the themes of California as a focal point for the counterculture and is generally regarded as one of the beginnings of the “Summer of Love” in 1967.
It also became the template for future music festivals, notably the Woodstock Festival two years later. Canned Heat is a blues-rock/boogie rock band that formed in Los Angeles, California, USA, in 1965. The group has been noted for its own interpretations of blues material as well as for efforts to promote the interest in this type of music and its original artists.
It was launched by two blues enthusiasts, Alan Wilson and Bob Hite, who took the name from Tommy Johnson’s 1928 “Canned Heat Blues”, a song about an alcoholic who had desperately turned to drinking Sterno, generically called “canned heat”.

Thanks to the original poster of this vid. The audio has been upgraded to stereo & punched up a little.
The Who had difficulty that night using borrowed amps, and couldn’t quite get their trademark sound to come through, resulting in a tinny-sounding set.
Notice Keith having his snare drum restored after the song was finished.

The first thing I ever remember hearing from Jimi Hendrix was “Hey Joe.”
I used to build guitar amplifiers and mixers then, and I had a reel-to-reel tape recorder that I used for recording songs for groups. I recorded Hey Joe off a record and I would play it over and over again.
It made a huge impression on me and any time I hear Hey Joe now, I just want to repeat it two or three more times.
I don’t think I’ll ever get over the need to do that.
Conservation efforts have worked perhaps too well in the City of Monterey, where hundreds of sea lion pups converged on City ramps, harbors, beaches and piers.
This short was filmed next to the Coast Guard Pier, where the pups spend most of their time sleeping, playing, swimming and competing for space.
For an unrivaled nature show, come visit Monterey and its National Marine Sanctuary!
