I live just outside Chicago, and there's a wind farm about 30 mins from us, I think near Kingston.

That place is LOUD. 𝘞𝘰𝘰𝘴𝘩 𝘸𝘰𝘰𝘴𝘩 𝘸𝘰𝘰𝘴𝘩!

Borrero? The film depicts this incident as happening to Etchingham. She was reportedly pissed off at that and other scenes in the movie...

BELOW: Redding/Etchingham/Townshend

@CanisPundit

The good stuff (for me anyway) is his interaction with Clapton, Chas Chandler, the Beatles, and others in the London psychedelic scene.

The scene where he blows Clapton off the stage playing "Killing Floor" is good, as is the scene where Hendrix plays Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" at the Saville Theatre in London, with the Beatles present, just 2 days after the album's release.

It's worth watching, you just have to take some of it, as depicted, with a grain of salt.

@CanisPundit

There's one scene where Hendrix beats up Kathy Etchingham at a pay phone, Jimi ripping the phone from her hands and beating her in the head with the receiver. Etchingham said this incident never happened, and while Hendrix had a temper and was quick to anger, he never raised a hand to her. I believe her.

@CanisPundit

Yeah. It covers roughly 1966 and 1967, with flashbacks to Jimi's childhood and a few early gigs. It ends with him taking the stage at Monterey.

The movie is worth watching. The guy who plays Hendrix is very good, in that he captures many of Jimi's nuances: the spacey stammer, his constantly bobbing head and... The actor nails this stuff perfectly...

But a couple of the people who were there (Linda Keith, Kathy Etchingham) have said many of the scenes are simply made up.

@CanisPundit

Parts of it are excellent, but most of it relies on rumor, half-truths, and conjecture. And some of it is just invented for the film.

Organic chemistry is the science of magic.

I wanted to like this, I really did. But if you can't actually get rights to the songs depicted in the film... I mean, c'mon...

@CanisPundit

Yeah, that's exceptional. I was just reading about Willie Bobo. The percussion section on that song is crazy.

@mikeflstfi

That's cool. Seiko under the hood?

There's no way that dog reads music. Just sayin...
