Review: Amazing and sad - As a long time Hendrix fan and guitar player, I have always admired and enjoyed playing his music. The extent of my Hendrix knowledge was with his music and any guitar magazine article I happen to come across. This book tells a whole different story. The real story of a musical genius and the greed of others trying to profit and control him. The writing is fantastic. It really feels as if a story is being told and you are a part of it. I couldn't put this book down. This is a must read for any Hendrix fan! It's very disturbing to hear what really happened to Hendrix and how other people took advantage of him, even his own family! Greed at its worst. At one point he is quoted saying "Everyone wants me to die". In the end we all should be ashamed and take a deep look into our hearts. A great spirit was pushed out of this world all too soon with people clawing and ripping him apart along the way. Isn't it strange how we always seem to destroy the beautiful? Just imagine how much brighter our world could have been with Hendrix still in it. This book is both inspirational and depressing. Amazing and sad. I will never look at, or hear Hendrix the same.
Review: Outstanding book - highly recommended! - Outstanding book - highly recommended! It provides a candid, extremely honest portrayal of Jimi Hendrix's short career and the greedy people who took advantage of him in life and death. It's not the usual flower biography due to the author's candor, but it was compelling and I couldn't put it down! It's an important book not just for the historical information about Hendrix, but it was also a sobering life lesson about how greed and power can bring the worst out of people. Ms. Lawrence also does a fine job of identifying the people who truly tried to protect Hendrix as he struggled to focus on his music and avoid the hangers-on and narcissistic business people hovering like a swarm of mosquitos in his life. My end thoughts were sobering about Ed Chalpin, Michael Jeffery, Leo Branton, Alan Douglas, Al Hendrix, and perhaps the worst of them - Janie Hendrix, who does not share a single drop of blood with Jimi Hendrix. These people should be judged harshly for trying to re-write history, steal money and use Jimi Hendrix in life and death for their own greed and personal gain. Thank you Sharon Lawrence for calling it like it was! It's not a pretty story, but every Hendrix fan needs to read it. Thank you for trying to set the record straight in memory of your friend.
