THE MUSICIAN: JIMI HENDRIX
Can you say "God"??? This guy re-invented the way people played the electric guitar. He
accomplished more in his four years of life then most artists will ever do in an entire lifetime.
Hendrix forever changed the nature of rock and roll by not only influencing the way that
musicians played the guitar, but also the way that they presented themselves . If you have
ever listened to Voodoo Child (Slight Return) I'am sure you totally understand why people
thought this cat possessed supernatural abilities.
Nearly 30 years after his death, Jimi's music still inspires people and he has captured a
whole new generation of fans that were not even alive when he was around.
"Listen here baby, stop acting so crazy!
You say your mom ain't home it ain't my concern,
Just don't play with me and you won't get burned.
I have only one itching desire,.... let me stand next to your fire."
- Fire
("Are You Experienced" 1967)
"Well, I stand up next to a mountain,
And I chop it down with the edge of my hand.
Well, I pick up all the pieces and make an island.
Might even raise a little sand,... cause I'am a voodoo child!!"
- Voodoo Child (Slight Return)
("Electric Ladyland" 1968)
