charles r cross wrote a biography on jimi hendrix, 'room full of mirrors'.

i am one of jimi's fans, so naturally i'd buy the book as a duck would
take to water.

i'm no fan of ducks.

i have to disclose, one of the facts that got me to actually go in depth
on the subject of jimi was how closely he resembled my pops. yup.
my pops was in uk for his engineering in the 1960s, and jimi was there
too.

i'm as intrigued in jimi as i was with my pops. i never really got the chance
to know him really well.

anyways, i did finish 'room full of mirrors', after much procrastination.

and i have to conclude that it's a tragic story. right from the moment his
parents met, up until he choked on his own vomit,

in an apartment in london.

such is the debauchery of the rock stars.
