47 years ago today, Jimi Hendrix left the world.

"Well, I'll stand up next to a mountain. I'll chop it down with edge of my hand..."

Today I was watching the old Ed Sullivan show and Janis Joplin was singing her heart out...I can't believe still that they went so young

And there's still works by him they won't release

One of my all time favs!

A tragic death

He died one year, one month and one week before I was born, he had so far to go and so much more to do ☹

So damn young too...I always wonder with some of these musicians if their legacy would have been as lasting if they had lived a full life. Like would Jimi still be looked up as the legend he is now if he was alive as a 75 year old today and releasing albums that make people roll their eyes and live performances that make people say "Good god when is he going to retire?"

I remember hearing he'd died. He was supposed to perform at Winterland later that year and my cousin had promised to take me to see him. 😞

Fantastic musician and person! Very sadly missed :(

I always saw his death as murder tbh
