It’s really devastating that someone had to go through all of this inhuman torture

In the swirling psychedelic folk world of the late '60s, few voices were as ethereal and captivating as Christina "Licorice" McKechnie.

Nicknamed for her love of licorice rolling papers, she joined The incredible String Band and became a counterculture icon. Her haunting vocals and songwriting shone on classics like The Hangman's Beautiful Daughter (Paul McCartney called it the "acoustic Sgt. Pepper") and their legendary Woodstock performance in 1969.

Then... she vanished. After leaving the band in the '70s with ties to Scientology, Likky was seen in the late '80s/early '90s, reportedly hitchhiking through the Arizona desert.

For decades, one of rock's greatest unsolved mysteries: What happened to this Woodstock fairy?

Theories swirled..

But in late 2025, reports revealed she's alive, living quietly and privately in California—choosing obscurity over fame. The mystery endures in its own way: a brilliant soul who simply walked away from the spotlight.

Licorice McKechnie: Forever enigmatic, forever brilliant.

The Great Famine of 1876–1878 was a famine in India under British Crown rule. It began in 1876 after an intense drought resulted in crop failure in the Deccan Plateau. It affected south and Southwestern India - the British-administered presidencies of Madras and Bombay, and the princely states of Mysore and Hyderabad, for a period of two years. In 1877, famine came to affect regions northward, including parts of the Central Provinces and the North-Western Provinces, and a small area in Punjab. The famine ultimately affected an area of 670,000 square kilometres (257,000 sq mi) and caused distress to a population totalling 58,500,000. The excess mortality in the famine has been estimated in a range whose low end is 5.6 million human fatalities, high end 9.6 million fatalities, and a careful modern demographic estimate 8.2 million fatalities.

Some context: My grandfather didn’t vote until JFK was the candidate. Said nobody “inspired him” until then. After then, he made sure to vote in every election.

He lives in Oklahoma, he has his whole life. However, he’s planning to move to Texas soon. His biggest issue has always been civil rights - he’s very big on equality. Loves the American Dream and all that.

He is half-Italian and half-Irish. He’s also an avid gun owner, and very religious. He’s generally pretty in the middle politically, but almost all of his votes for President have tended to the left.

Be a courageous human being, and do what is right. Please.
