Jimi Hendrix's death announcement, September
18th, 1970 on ABC News.
Some inaccuracies of the clip..

"he didnt die of an overdose either...the official cause was "inhalation of vommit... he took 20 sleeping pills with wine, threw up in his sleep, inhaled it and died...and he was 27 not 28"

I particularly like that the reporter says "During his short career Hendrix Flailed his -clears throat to read his notes/written material?- Some of the most unusual sounds of an unusual music" to describe his music. This man was a fucking genius. He is my favorite musician of all time. Never mind being Way ahead of his time. He Invented the Intense-Space-Exploring Guitar Solo. If you ever want to see space without a rocket, listen to Voodoo Child off of Electric Ladyland. If you want to go to the beach and chill listen to Pali Gap off of Rainbow bridge. And finally, if you want to feel absolutely free and love life, Listen to the Live recording of Stone free off of Live at the Fillmore East. Those are my 3 favorite Hendrix tunes :]

  • They found a great amount of wine in his lungs so sounds like it was forced down his throat if u ask me

  • At 1:36 did the guy say he was 28? I thought he died at 27. If not im crazy then.
