seems to be alot of this question on you tube, just was wondering ur thoughts

Yes he was. He was murdered by himself as are many drug addicts.

Didn't even know he was dead but then I really don't care either to be quite honest. As I see it him passing is certainly no great loss to society. Drug addicts most all end life early as a result of their addictions.

that's a callous point of view. i thought you believed in forgiveness. and redemption

Dee · « **Reply #4 on:** October 21, 2008, 04:07:58 PM »

What would he forgive him for? I don't think GB knew him personally, I no I didn't. And redemption is a personal decision between oneself and Christ.
From all I have ever read, and heard, Jimmie Hendrix's misery was for the most part, self-inflicted so callousness, and indifference toward his chosen life style and demise is to be expected. Bad choices usually have bad consequences.
Mr. Hendrix in his lifetime was hardly a positive influence on his followers, but instead quite the opposite. Would you have wanted him around your family?

SPO, I live not far from Seattle, where he was from. I've NEVER heard anything about a murder concerning him, and believe me, stories about him are fairly often still in the newspapers, blogs, etc. Just another OD.
After Curt Cobain killed himself, there were the usual conspiracy stories floating about, especially here in Seattle, but again, all the facts point to a self-inflicted shotgun blast ( does it every time ).
FWIW, only murder of a Seattle area musician I can think of was maybe 15 or so years ago, a gal ( forget her name, seemed like a very nice person from I read ) was a singer in a girl-group ( "gitz" maybe) who was raped and murdered in the Capitol Hill area, after doing a gig. Went unsolved for many years, till a year or two ago DNA was linked to a guy doing time in another state. He plead guilty.

I believe Jimi was US Army, airborne, Vietnam Vet...not sure but I know he was Army and honorably discharged.

Well, I'm not a big fan of Wikipedia as a source for the "facts," but here's what they have to say about Jimi's military career:

Hendrix got into trouble with the law twice for riding in stolen cars. He was given a choice between spending two years in prison or joining the Army. Hendrix chose the latter and enlisted on May 31, 1961. After completing boot camp, he was assigned to the 101st Airborne Division and stationed in Fort Campbell, Kentucky. His commanding officers and fellow soldiers considered him to be a sub-par soldier: he slept while on duty, had little regard for regulations, required constant supervision, and showed no skill as a marksman. For these reasons, his commanding officers submitted a request that Hendrix be discharged from the military after he had served only one year. Hendrix did not object when the opportunity to leave arose. Hendrix would later tell reporters that he received a medical discharge after breaking his ankle during his 26th parachute jump. The 2005 biography Room Full of Mirrors by Charles Cross claims that Hendrix faked being homosexual - claiming to have fallen in love with a fellow soldier - in order to be discharged, but has never produced credible evidence to support this contention.

For the entire story see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jimi_Hendrix

Living in a purple haze doesn't make for a very good role model.

The Army took anyone back then, but airborne I seriously doubt that.

Some songs, sure, but no big loss over all.

Murdered, I don't know, and don't really care.

Once a drug addict/pusher/dealer/user there is only one good thing to hope for is a early death.

Have you ever listened to of the words from any Henrix songs, good guitar player? Guitar music from him sounds like fingernails on blackboard, words are jumbled drug induced. Personally, anyone who considers him an idol needs to get a real life. He was and is part of the drug problems in America today. Most of our country watches MTV or other music channels on the TV and believes every word they tell them. No wonder the Muslims want to destroy our country?
If we continue to make hero's out of these drug using misfits, we are lost as a society. Murdered, if he was murdered he killed himself with that hypodermic syringe.

S.B. · « **Reply #10 on:** October 23, 2008, 05:08:32 PM »

My point was Jimmy Hendrix(as a role model for the young) was far from without faults and definitely not a hero and should not be worshiped as one. I'm surprise that if you not a fan, why do seem to be defending him?

Graybeard · « **Reply #11 on:** October 24, 2008, 09:07:53 AM »

Leave it to TM7 to make a comparison between Jesus and Jimi. Yup TM I can see how you'd want to make such a comparison a already hey at least both names begin with a J that should be enough for you. As you seem to like to recommend to some others here you really should get a grip there big fellow.

yooper77 · « **Reply #12 on:** October 24, 2008, 09:25:11 AM »

We can include alot of people into this NON-role model category, but this subject was about Jimmi Hendrix.

Many politicians, movie stars, sports stars, basically anyone that does something illegal in the public eye.

What about all the pretty young female actresses or little daddy rich girls that have to go to the rehabilitation (country club) centers or jail for an hour to please the judge? What a crock!

Yep, I consider them all trash. Sports stars, music stars, movie stars that act outside the norm of reality. If they can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen. A blight on our society.

Don't think forgiving his sins is in my job description at least not the last time I checked. I think that's GOD's job not mine. Mine is to recognize evil, sinful folks and stay the heck away from them. If he had wanted help it was readily available to him. He chose his life style and paid the price for it same as all do.

S.B. · « **Reply #15 on:** October 24, 2008, 02:44:57 PM »

I consider your statements blasphemy! I've never thought of Christ as a drug using idot. You've mistaken religion with idol worship but, then many do today. You, sir(TM7), are out of context and mind.

Dee · « **Reply #16 on:** October 25, 2008, 04:35:28 AM »

TM7, I am neither for, not against you on this issue, but feel your attempt at making a point using Christ is futile to say the least. I will leave you with a short set of scriptures that deals with exactly what God thinks about folks that have refused Him and served THEMSELVES instead.

Romans Chapter 1 verse 21. Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful: but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. Verse 22. Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, Verse 23. And changed the glory of the incorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things. Verse 24. Wherefore God also GAVE THEM UP TO UNCLEANNESS THROUGH THE LUSTS OF THEIR OWN HEARTS, TO DISHONOR THEIR OWN BODIES BETWEEN THEMSELVES: Verse 25. Who changed the TRUTH OF GOD INTO A LIE, and WORSHIPPED AND SERVED THE CREATURE, MORE THAN THE CREATOR, who is blessed for ever. Amen.

In Verse 28 God says that he gives them over to a reprobate mind.

God also in Matthew instructed His Disciples to carry the Gospel to others but, if they rejected the truth, to shake the dust from their sandals and got to the next group of folks.

Jimmie Hendrix was what he was, by choice. Accept the fact or reject it, but it will not change the fact. He fate was between him and God, and as God says: Ye shall know them by their fruits.

You or someone else may want to attribute this set of scriptures to homsexuallity, but I will concure that MY BODY is the Temple of God, and in my heart He (God) dwells. Hendrix VIOLATED God's Temple, and destroyed it. YES?

Dee · « **Reply #17 on:** October 25, 2008, 05:37:42 AM »

As God says: Straight is the gate, and narrow is the way. Jimmie had I believe, jumped the curb so to speak, and was running over pedestrians. His influence on youth, was one of the worst.
As far as his "gift of creativity" I seriously doubt anyone could shore up the thought that he was using it to glorify God, which is what a God Given Gift is intended to do.

ironglow · « **Reply #18 on:** October 25, 2008, 05:49:01 AM »

GB, Dee and others..Ditto..

Any person who decides to devote him/her self to flaunting the law and wallowing in mind-bending drugs..it's their choice..But when others try to set them up as a kind of model for young people, those others should have their heads checked. Going to the point of ANY kind of comparison betweeen Hendrix and Christ ...is way out in "ninny-land". Yes, both have many "followers" ..but so did/does Hitler and Satan. Perhaps a better comparison could have been made with one of those two, rather than Christ.
...But I suppose if someone doesn't even know Christ...such a comparison may see reasonable...

I think you are one sick puppy. Some little of hat you say makes some sense on occasion but most of the time I really wonder what mind altering drug you're on. Are you sure the same person is using your username all the time or is there more than one person there hiding out in you?

I doubt he was murdered. What, at this point in time, difference does it make?
The comparison of Jimi and Christ is a moot point and less effective than comparing Jimi too Beethoven--probably even Bing Crosby.
His acts in life--while typical of this brood in this time--are not news worthy and only is this thread unless there is some creditable evidence of a conspiracy too cover up.
I am still trying too figger out why the comparison to Christ.

If Jimmy was murdered and I was on the jury the guy would have no worries of me convicting him.

It's so TM7 can continue the controversy and thus keep attention on himself and his distorted way of worshiping his music idols. Don't ya know, man?

Now cheese your a lwayer, you'd love to have a guy like me on the jury if you were defending someone for a killing.

I think what some here don't want to admit is; if you play with fire(like some notable people who are in the news, often) you just might get burned? He was a drug user just like many that have been mentioned in this thread and died like a drug user, as several do, every year, .
Personally, in my opinion, to turn his death into a conspiracy is to make a mockery of people who don't use drugs(good, decent) and law enforcement personnel who fight the drug culture.
I mean, we all know what a "high" is, it's an escape from the reality of life's challenges, right? One of the major problems in our world today. Every druggy I have ever known thinks they are fooling the rest of society by denying their drug use, they just can't admit their own weakness's to themselves or anyone else. Their also paranoid and afraid one of their friends will tell authorities about their drug use. That's where the word "snitch" come into their vocabulary?
In real life 'truth is truth and a lie is just that a lie", no gray in between.
I post this because my family, just like most families today, have been touched by the drug culture and have suffered the ill effects of this despicable reality of life.
Let the flames begin.
