But more Hendrix caused my vote.

4. On this topic, I highly recommend the "27 Club" podcast. Good storytelling and production values.

There are five seasons: Jimi, Jim, Janis, Amy, and Pigpen.

I wish we could have saved all of them. Sigh.

8. Other: DBoon of the Minutemen

Dennes Dale Boon (April 1, 1958 – December 22, 1985) was an American musician, best known as the guitarist, singer and songwriter of the punk rock trio Minutemen. He was born on April 1, 1958, in San Pedro, California, and formed the Minutemen in 1980 with bassist Mike Watt and drummer George Hurley. The Minutemen were known for their politically charged lyrics and energetic, fast-paced music, and they released several influential albums during their career. Boon died in an automobile accident on December 22, 1985, at the age of 27. Despite his early death, Boon's contributions to punk rock and independent music have been widely recognized. He is remembered as an important figure in the history of these genres.

16. Yes. Watched them play live from 10 feet away, in 1983...

...at the "Rock Against Reagan" show on the front lawn of the US Federal Building in Westwood CA.

My band, The Hundredth Monkey, also played that show.

I was up on the "stage" right behind George.

This event was a part of the east coast Yippies! Rock Against Reagan tour, which toured throughout the US at that time.

9. Jimi...

Because the world deserved to hear what kind of music a band consisting of Hendrix, Tony Williams, Miles Davis, and Paul McCartney would have sounded like.

15. Jesse Belvin...singer, songwriter and pianist...

Jesse Belvin had the smooth voice and an abundance of class.
He wrote "Earth Angel" a hit record for the singing group The Penguins.
Jesse, also, had a hit record of his own in the 1956 release of "Goodnight My Love."

17. when I was 13 I had two posters on my wall

Jimi Hendrix and Jimmy Page

how cool was I?

[BOSSHOG]

21. When I was 14

I (we) had a black light poster of Jimi Hendrix in our dorm room, 1968-69. Totally cool.

SCUSE ME WHILE I KISS THE SKY IS A POSTER ON MY OFFICE WALL 54 years later.

Remember the old Dr Pepper commercial. It’s a good thing Jimi Hendrix didn’t drink coke.
