Little Richard and Jimi
Me and Bobby McGee
One day on Mescaline Snow I let him slip away
Hes goin to a place I hope I’ll find
But Id trade all my tomorrows
for one single yesterday
To be holdin Bobbys body next to mine
Freedom’s just another word for
Nothing left to lose
Nothing thats all that Bobby left me
But feeling good was good enough
when Bobby sang the blues
and feelin good was good enough for me
Good enough for me and Bobby McGee
It was said that Janis Joplin wrote this song for Jimi Hendrix
They used to shoot up under their eyelids..
She died of an overdose also...
Looks more like Eddie Murphy!
;)

Johnny Allen Hendrix, born in 1942, was a left handed boy with a dream of being a guitarist. In his youth, Jimi would run around his house playing a broom acting as if he were the lead guitar player for B.B. King. In his teenage years, Hendrix was arrested for riding in stolen cars. He was given a choice of enlisting in the Army or spending time in prison. In 1961, on May 31st, he joined the Army. He was placed in the 101st Airborne Division and stationed at Fort Campbell, in Kentucky. Hendrix was said to be a horrible soldier, showing no interest in being there. He was known to sleep while on duty and someone always had keep an eye on him. Not soon after, his commanding officer requested that Hendrix be discharged from the military and, after only serving one year in the Army, Jimi was released. His time in the service was not a total loss, while he was there he met a man by the name of Billy Cox and together they formed their first band, “The King Casuals”. They became rather popular in the UK, but Jimi was beginning to branch off into a different direction.
He paid his dues.
One day on Mescaline Snow??????
It’s “One Day up near Salinas”
You Retard.
Jimi is still my all time favorite artist. I may just put on some his stuff tonight to keep me company.
By the way...that's not Little Richard in post 1.
Well thats how we use to sing it...
I just thought it was something you might have used ...
I once read an autobiography DAndelion — she knew Jimi, he was tripping at her house in London days before he died. Druggies don’t understand the limbic brain. It’s easy to tun off the animal brain functions of heart and breathing by just taking a bit too much.
I didn't think so either. Do you know who he is?

No. Jimi worked with so many R&B bands in the years leading up to his success, that it could be any number of headliners he worked with. Notice the 'processed' hair style. That was near universal among black R&B artists of the day.
The guy in the photo has some resemblance to Little Richard, but I really don't think it's him.
He looks amazingly good in those pics. Before the bad days when he “found his roots”. Gotta share these with my wife.
Best guitarist that couldn’t tune his guitar.
Jim Hendrix did not play a guitar. Hendrix dominated and drove a guitar like a Mack Truck with total control of those strings. “Purple Haze”
Janis Joplin had a bass raspy voice (cigarettes and whiskey) with lyrics that went to your soul and deepest emotions. “Pearl the Album”
Jim Morrison (The Doors) was was absolute magic on stage. “Light My Fire”
Grace Slick (Jefferson Airplane) had a voice that was like the edge of red hot knife. “White Rabbit”
I do not like their politics, but sweet mother of god they could sing and play.
Oh, he could tune his Strat okay but he didn't need to the way he could stretch the strings. Tuning that guitar was a waste of time anyway with him using the "wah-wah" bar so much.
Jimi Hendrix on guitar with Billy Cox on Bass. They both met as paratroopers in the 101st Airborne Division at Fort Cambell, KY.
The building's architecture is pretty bizarre.
... but they never wrote back. :-(
