Jimi was ODing but I believe his life could have been saved if the girl called emergency before she flushed down all the drugs. She was worried about getting busted which could have been a factor to his death. I wasn't there but that's the story I heard. If true, I believe it is, it saddens me most of all that his death could have been prevented.

@ptaaffe 27, actually. News report got it wrong.

Bad news story about his death and legacy. You know the anchor was like,"Who? I don't listen to that stuff!"

If the same thing would've happened today, the newscasts would've made him a saint instead of being so short with him

september 18 1970....my 11th birthday!!!......i do share something with Jimmy
I live a mile from where Jimi's buried. He's at Greenwood Memorial in Renton, WA and they just built a new gazebo-styled monument for him. Supposedly, 50,000 people visit his grave site each year including the likes of Eric Clapton, Buddy Guy and the late Stevie Ray Vaughan. Stevie Ray Vaughan had visited Jimi several months before he died, even played one of his guitars. What a talent, Jimi and Kurt Cobain are two local Seattle stars whose fire was snuffed way too early. Thnx for the post!

Ten years later we'd have another sad day in music when we lost John Lennon.:(
