Happy 70th Birthday, Jimi Hendrix


Today would have been Jimi Hendrix 70th birthday, if not for the CIA-sponsored  assassination back in 1970 (no, I'm just kidding, he died of drug-related asphyxia over in London - there was no disappearance by any government).

His recording career, which only produced four albums during his lifetime, was too short by far.  In  tribute to one of the 20th Century's most singular musicians, I offer this performance clip from 1970.  Sorry about the abrupt ending (not my editing).
