Just an appreciation thread here for the man.

How old was he?

I looked for another thread! I couldn't find one.

Anyway, I should have guessed that soemone would beat me to it.

And why didn't you invite me to go along to Jeff Beck?!

Unbelievable to think he only made records for about 4 years.

I believe there's an issue of distance my dear.
However, i'm sure you'll be there in spirit.

And how his impact has lasted beyond his own life span

theAudience said:

I know.

But I'll expect a full review of course.

minneapolisgenius said:

Definitely.

I just hope my camera makes it in.

Did anyone read Roomfull of Mirrors? I liked it because it gave some insight into what made him "tick." Reading how he grew up, really made me feel sorry for him. Does anyone have any other Hendrix biography recommendations?

Crosstown Traffic by Charles Shaar Murray is a good one.

the highest praise

Rest In Peace, Jimmy James!!!!

I got back From Hawaii yesterday, I just sent this to tA a couple of days ago, concerning Hendrix, his piece of music, and my org name:


"...Speaking of Hendrix, when I was back in Oahu, I actually saw the "Pali Gap"...well, I was traveling the Pali Highway, actually...it was hard to take a picture that would show it, but I found a couple already online that show it pretty well. It's actually a kind of valley that separates upper Oahu from Honolulu, and they get some impressive Trade Winds blowing through there:

Great thread! RIP Mr. Hendrix

Scared the "holy shit" outta England (Townshend, Clapton, Beck, etc.) and wasn't FULLY appreciated by the U.S. until he was GONE. I've loved Hendrix since I was 7 (and I'm 38 now). And will love his music FOREVER!!!!!
