Hendrix served his country, unlike many on this forum.
Jimi also hated Communists, his Star Spangled Banner at Woodstock was not an anti-war protest as Leftists always say it was.
Hendrix himself said, on Dick Cavett that “All I did was only it. I’m an American, so I played it. They made me sing it in school, so it was a flashback.” Cavett then points out that Hendrix is likely to find himself on the receiving end of a barrage of hate mail because of his decision to cover the national anthem in an unorthodox manner, to which Hendrix proudly stated, “It’s not unorthodox, I thought it was beautiful. But then, there you go.”
I spoke to Juma Sultan, who was onstage with Jimi at Woodstock. Juma said Jimi was definitely against the war, but he was honoring America. Btw, Juma is really a free jazz cat and his music is worth a listen. He’s still active in Florida and New York - in fact he posted on his Facebook the story about the black dude walking out of a trans dance video shoot - see https://freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/4153738/posts. He may not be a Deplorable, but he sure doesn’t seem like an enemy.
Jimi never torched a flag, never called servicemen baby killers, and FWIW Vietnam WAS a s-—show; LBJ et al wasn’t in it to win it, and just like with Ukraine it’s not our war. If conservatives/leftists were/are worried about the Viet Cong/Russians, then THEY should have picked up a rifle, fly to Saigon/Donbas, and go play GI Joe/Cisgen.
Not so well apparently.
