We all wonder what Jimi would have become had he lived. I have a sneak feeling he would have become a much more private and straitlaced person, perhaps turning to religion. He was returning to the blues, but he might have gone to music school and explored classical.
Such an interesting way to tell the story. I love how this series ties everything together with food - something that brings people together, offers comfort, and sharing food is a way to show people you care or are cared for. Can’t wait for the next one to learn the stories of others.
They found wine in his lungs, alcohol wasn’t present in his blood! What does that mean, his manager with mafia ties had him murdered because he was going to get fired. They held him down and poured wine down his throat until he died….
Love this. Growing up I always took Hendrix for granted, but a few years ago I listened to Axis Bold As Love back to front for the first time and fell in love. I bought a white squier strat with my first ever paycheck after that.

Went there several years ago to visit the blue shrine (Nora's restaurant). Glad to see it's still there. Hope they keep it as part of the neighborhood restauration.
Really enjoyed your presentation. Most of that I was not aware of; the early years with his folks and grandparents. It was such a loss to everyone when he died so young. I was going to school in NJ in the late 60's. In '68, the school took us to see him perform in Philly (I was 17). It was the experience of a lifetime.
One part of Jimi's life that is never talked about is what you mentioned at 1:20 - Him joining the Army to avoid jail time for something to do with a stolen car. Someone needs to do an expose on this for us fans.
Mike Jeffries, Monica Danneman, tons of stolen money by his manager, Black panthers cointel pro, Mi6 and Operation underground ... not to mention some really good investigators who uncovered that things may not have been as they appeared in the mainstream media at that time regarding his death. It's not likely he died of barbituates once you know all the details and inconsistencies especially in Monica Danneman's accounting of his last day alive compared to other more credible witnesses. He was a heavy drug user though yep that part is on point. always follow the money starting with Jeffries and Monica was highly suspect as well when all facts are inferred. All of this is out there now and vary intriguing
He did not take too many sleeping pills he was giving something by his girlfriend which was a white girl at the time and the mouse she gave him was an overdose. Stop lying and say he took too many sleeping pills
