Title: Im no student of Hendrix but I liked it enough
Product review: Hendrix is so idolized and mythologized these days, mostly by pretentious boomers like the ones writing over at crappy mags like Rolling Stone. Im a younggun, and started listening to Hendrix 6 or 7 years ago and loved it so; but to be honest I didnt know much of his life, but I guess I didnt care much either. Hendrix's music exists in like this capsule away from his actual physical person and self, writers have no problem calling him "the greatest guitarist ever" or praising his songwriting but dont ever bother with him.So, maybe thats why I liked this book. It gave some weight and depth to the person behind the great music but also showed him to be a mortal who fell to his base pleasures. It's a well-balanced, smooth read, and I recommend it.
