Aug 20, 2008 - My hubby and I just sat here and watched this again. He was in Nam in 1969 and now the tears are rolling down his face. He is a vet who hated the war and felt alone when he came home (I didn't know him then). He had never heard of Hendrix over there, but Jimi became his guitar hero...to this day. Gary Moore is his second. Thank you for posting. Thanks again to hawk for correcting me earlier. Peace.

Aug 20, 2008 - ok jimi hendrix always had an acid strip underneath his bandana notice how he gets so into it like at 46 he starts trippin out and then he just gets crazy with it
TarzTarkus Says:
Aug 20, 2008 - you are probably right, i might be seeing things but i think part of his bandanna is darker red then the other part which could be blood, he would sometimes cut his forehead to make the acid kick in faster, however it is much more likely the darker red is from sweat which would also help trigger the acid trip faster

Aug 20, 2008 - my step-dad got two purple hearts... he hated the Viet-Nam war but had no other prospects being a black American... (I'm white UK)... I used to think "Thank God we have a 'Hearts and Minds' policy"... This is as relevant today as it was then - note the Last Post bridge - forget the C**p about acid; this was a true patriotic track that proved his love for his fellow Americans and the unjust war in Viet-Nam... and Iraq... He saw the future.

Aug 20, 2008 - That`s Free Jazz Sound and Energy playing.Not rock music. Hendrix himself says he loves john coltrane.and some people say this piece are the only REAL ARTWORK in Rockmusic.
