Jimi Hendrix Death, 40 Years Later
September 18, 2010
Saturday, September 18, we celebrated the 40th anniversary of the death of Jimi Hendrix, one of the greatest guitarists of all time.
The circumstances of his death until today are surrounded by mysteries and conspiracy theories. At 27, he was found dead in a hotel room by girlfriend Monika Dannemann, after taking sleeping pills and red wine.
The autopsy revealed that Hendrix choked on his own vomit.
Monika, however, changed his testimony several times. On occasion, even said she found her boyfriend still alive and that he would have died in the ambulance. In 2009, former roadie James “Tappy” Wright published the book “Roadie Rock” where he claimed that Michael Jeffrey, Hendrix’s former manager, would have killed the musician.
Counterculture icon
Voted as the best guitarist in rock history for various publications, Hendrix was also one of the great icons of the counterculture of the ’60s.
His presentation was more famous at Woodstock in 1969, when he played the national anthem on electric version. He is also remembered for having set fire to his own guitar during a presentation.
Owner of such hits as “Hey Joe”, “Crosstown Traffic” and “Purpke Haze,” Hendrix won many of the most prestigious awards given to artists of rock. Posthumously, he joined the Hall of Fame Rock and Roll American, in 1992.
In 2005, it was the turn of the Music Hall of Fame of the United Kingdom.
A star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame was dedicated to him in 1994. In 2006, their debut album in the U.S., “Are You Experienced”, was inserted into the National Recording Registry.

Dope or no dope pure genius !!!!!!!
If you wanna go the you tube route type in IMHO one of his finest " Little Wing " and plug your laptop into a good sound system and you can have a fantastic evening not only listening to Jimi,s version,s of it but many many very clever tributes to it, I particularly like that Stevie Via version also some of the youngsters who wouldnt even been thought of when Jimi was around .
