| Jimi lived high, hard and fast. He said, "I think anybody should be able to do whatever he wants." He did, and it cost him. And that's where the tragedy comes in. Any musician knows sometimes you need ups and downs just to get through the days and nights - road life is hard. But you gotta know how much your body can take, and you gotta know what it is your taking and what it'll do to you. . . you gotta be careful. Unless you just don't care. | ||||||||||||||||
| How can you sum up a man's life and career in a few words in a few hours? Let's just say this: Jimi made a lot of bread and spent a lot of bread. He had a lot of women, a lot of good times. His guitar and life style have left a permanent dent on rock music. He left behind five LP's that are classics. (The next one is 3/4 finished. . . producer Eddie Cramer says he and Mitch will try and finish it up for release.) He was here for awhile, he changed the heads of anybody who ever tripped with him. . . and now he's gone for awhile. | ||||||||||||||||
| Miss him? Hell yes, but don't mourn. When he was acquitted of drug charges in Toronto over a year ago he said, "I tell you when I die I'm not going to have a funeral, I'm going to have a jam session. And, knowing me, I'll probably get busted at my own funeral." Noel Redding said that before the funeral in Seattle there will be a jam session in New York this weekend. He, Billy Cox, Mitch and George Harrison will play. Just like they used to do for the jazzmen in New Orleans. |
