....amazing musician........a little-known factoid about this very talented performer......
“....In 1961, Hendrix followed in his father’s footsteps by enlisting in the United States Army. While training as a paratrooper, Hendrix still found time for music, forming a band named the King Kasuals. Hendrix served in the army until 1962 when he was honorably discharged after injuring himself during a parachute jump......”
Jimi hated Communists. He said that his rendition of The National Anthem at Woodstock was not meant as an anti-War Statement, he was more unhappy with the way the war was fought (who could blame him), but he knew the Viet Cong were much worse.
