@twiztid1fiddy Well, that was just how the news media was back then, they didn't understand him like someone under the age of 30 would've, it's understandable. At least they reported it. At least in the years that followed, we got reporters (good and bad) who at least made the effort to understand someone like Hendrix and put his death in some kind of context.

@MrKushsmoker21 fuck the media.

@SoftSexyManHands here, here. I specifically said 1970 bc of the way the anchor condescendingly called Hendrix's music 'unusual' and called him an 'acid rock' musician. the general tone of this man annoyed the shit out of me, like he was trying to defend the public from the evil 'rock and roll'

@ac4tv The news just gave it to ya straight back then which, when compared to today's bullshit over-the-top drama soaked news, is pretty startling.

It very disturbing how the anchorman just seems to shrug this off.im not saying he should cry but being cold and offensive is not the way to announce anyones death.i bet he wouldnt be that way if it were his son,nephew or anyone.thats sad man
