I thought Jimi Hendrix... was just phenomenal.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I saw Jimi Hendrix - it must have been four times. And he was incomparable, and his legend lives on.
I loved Hendrix. I mean, really, really loved him. As if he were one of the great classical composers. And he was. That's how I saw him.
I was listening to Jimi Hendrix; I just admire his artistry and creativity as an artist.
I really thought I was pretty good before I saw Hendrix, and then I thought: Yeah, not so good.
Secretly, I wanted to look like Jimi Hendrix, but I could never quite pull it off.
Richard Lloyd of Television is one of my favorite guitarists. His mentor was Jimi Hendrix when he was just 14. Jimi was always pounding everything he knew into that kid.
I think the first person who kind of broke my mind was probably Jimi Hendrix. Listening to him opened my mind up to where you can take music and how far you can take rock n' roll.
Jimi Hendrix's music was escapism.
I was very friendly with Jimi Hendrix because my boyfriend at the time, Tommy Weber, was making a film about him, so I would go to all of his shows.
But then there was Hendrix, man. Jimi was really the last cat to freak me. Jimi was playing all the stuff I had in my head. I couldn't believe it, when I first heard him. Man, no one can ever do what he did with a guitar. No one can ever take his place.
