Anyone with his talent that had to endure opening for the Monkess and getting booed off the stage...paid his dues.
I was there Jackson MS in 67 or 68 as an 11 year old and didnt realize it was Hendrix till Stand Next to my Fire.....he was not booed though
Most if the teeny boppers were simply stunned
Now by the time Jimi died....i still remember it...under the sweetgum tree listening to WJDX 102.9 THE ROCK.....news broke in....on my transistor....they all died that year....Morrison the next year
By 1970 i knew Axis Bold as Love by heart.....i was that little indian brave...
