The Invasion That Never Happened

This is a story of an alien invasion of California, USA in 1970. The funny looking, purple aliens, twenty thousand strong, decided to invade our planet and made the very long journey, from a faraway purple galaxy, for a single reason - to acquire a large amount of "Double AA" batteries. Why, you might ask, did they need so many batteries? Well, they were desperate to revive a Tape Player, which they obtained in 1967 due to an unplanned "mishap" in our own space program, which is still unknown to us. It wasn't the device, but its content that made this Tape Player so important to the aliens - a cassette with the music of 1967 Earth's rising star - Jimi Hendrix. They heard his music and they were hooked! More than hooked, they were addicted! And, as I'm certain you can figure out, when the batteries of the Tape Player died, the aliens had no choice but to go and get some more. Only this trip to the local 7-11 was over 50 bi-zillion miles away. While on Earth, as the aliens doing their best to find replacement batteries, they would encounter the varied population of California of the early 70's: Hippies; Black Panthers; the rest of us; and, as luck would have it, Jimi Hendrix himself. This exposure to our "Culture" will force the aliens to make a crucial decision about their future. In the meantime, if you wonder why this 1970 invasion of California, USA never happened? Well, the answer is quite simple - We ignored them...
