On 27 of November, we celebrated 70th Birthday of Jimi Hendrix. This is one of his most popular hit songs "Hey Joe" performed live on Monday morning Augist 18, 1969 at the Woodstock, N.Y., Music Festival.
Many Hendrix fans do not know that "Hey Joe" was not written by Joe. "Hey Joe" was registered for copyright in the U.S. in 1962 by William Moses "Billy" Roberts Jr., American songwriter and musician. He copyrighted :Hey Joe" in 1962 but never released. In fact Billy Roberts issued only one album in 1975. Before Hendrix several artists covered this song, including Los Angeles band The Leaves, Arthur Lee's group Love and The Byrds with a singer David Crosby.

If you don’t like his music, don’t comment. Janis did die from a heroin overdose, but Jimi did not. He died from barbiturate related asphyxiation. Yes, he did a lot of drugs, mostly psychedelics. Between his manager wearing him down with constant touring and his own drive for perfection, he was worn out. Yes, a lot of talented people died young during that era.
Jimi was in the 101st Airborne, so keep that in mind before throwing out that word “traitor”. The Star Spangled Banner is about the flag surviving a night of bombardment and Jimi imitating that bombardment sonically. He did a studio version that was like an orchestra of guitars. It appears on the Rainbow Bridge album. If you didn’t like his singing, keep in mind that he was a guitarist first. He wasn’t about showing off his range, like these people do now.

The sun witnesses all the legends come and go. Jimi was on another level compared to any other guitar player then and now.

Can you imagine being inside of those crowds back in 1969? I mean check out that man's expression behind Jimi when he was doing that ending solo, with eyes closed. Man had hard time processing what he just witnessed, and I'd have the same expression if I was there too.
