There are two camps when the discussion of Jimi Hendrix comes up, those who love him, and those who don't. I'm most definitely in the latter one.
Like many talented artists who have died young, I think he was gifted beyond measure, trying to find his place in the world, and succumbed to the perils of drug use.
His was a complicated life, about to be immortalized on screen by the new movie, "Jimi: All is By My Side" starring Andre Benjamin (aka Andre 3000).
In anticipation of that, this rather extensive article describing his relationship and conflict with the black community, is explored.
