Journalist Michael Thomas: Hendrix is a master of ceremonies, he saunters on stage, looking like a buccaneer Othello come to Camelot, in velvet and lace and boots of Spanish leather, a Mexican bandit’s hat on his head with a feather in the gold chain-band, his silk blouse open to the navel, a shiny gold medallion sparkling on his chest…. He is, afterall, the Great Pretender of rock ’n’ roll burlesque. He is, unchallenged, the Cassius Clay of pop.”

@BlueVoter24 Quite an elegant, swashbuckling figure. An extremely gifted musician. He left us way too soon

@SuzE43_ I always regret I never went to see him. I wanted to go to Woodstock w/friends, but I was only seventeen. Ma said I could go, but don't come back. Lovely woman.

@BlueVoter24 Well, I don't know your Ma, but maybe she felt you were a bit young!
