RE: Don’t taz me, bro.

Jimi Hendrix would have had to write Purple Taze these days.

He enlisted in the Army and served in the 101st Airborne Division but one officer said he seemed too interested in playing his guitar and when he broke his ankle in one of his parachute jumps he let him take an honorable discharge.

A claim has been made that when Hendrix was a passenger in a car an associate of his had stolen the police let him enlist
as an alternative to jail time. Hendrix hadn’t known the car would be stolen, several places say.
