For a long time, there has been a black hole, in desperate need of being filled. We’re talking a huge gap here. Something people should have thought of ages ago.
Luckily though, Da Capo Press have come to the rescue to fill that gap, releasing a book all about Jimi Hendrix, entitled Becoming Jimi Hendrix: From Southern Crossroads To Psychedelic London, The Untold Story Of A Musical Genius.
Three things crossed my mind here. One, could they come up with a longer name? Two, haven’t there already been a million books about Jimi Hendrix? I must have been wrong though, otherwise why would De Capo Press feel the need to release one? Thank God they did. And three, why would anyone want to become Jimi Hendrix? Not only is the guy dead (and I’ve heard being dead isn’t much fun), we all know Brad Delson is the true master of the guitar.
I tried reading a book once… I gave up when I couldn’t find where to put the batteries. More info on the book here.
