Jimi Hendrix Electrifies The Star Spangled Banner (Today in Creative History)

08/18/22 • 13 min

Today in Creative History: August 18th, 1969, Jimi Hendrix plays a visionary rendition of The Star Spangled Banner for a stunned audience at Woodstock. It's a performance that will go down in history as the musical climax of a tumultuous decade in the USA. Decades later, this rendition still sounds as startling to our ears as it must have to the tens of thousands in attendance.

32: Notebooks of Leonardo da Vinci • Part 1: The Inner Life of Genius

At this moment, strewn across the world, there exist over 7,200 pages of Leonardo da Vinci's notes. These pages are not only echoes of a distant past–embodying the inquisitive spirit of the Renaissance–according to scholars and historians they represent the 'greatest record of curiosity ever created'.

Join me for this special two part series, as we dive into the thoughts, artwork, and paradoxes of Leonardo da Vinci's mind. A mind whose brilliance is exteriorized for us on the pages of these manuscripts.

Creativity Tip 18: The Siesta Nap

On this minisode, we’re going to explore the physical and creative benefits of napping. I’ll share with you my personal method for easing into a nap practically anywhere. And we will answer this question: are there any creative benefits to napping?

Dorian's Nap Method:

Set your alarm for 17 - 20 minutes.
Lay down on a bed (with a sleep mask) or elsewhere, like a car (with sunglasses).
Slow down your breathing and scan your body for any tension.
Slowly count from 1 to 15 in your mind, imagine drawing each number slowly. If you make it to 15, start from step 3 again, and restart your count.
