A memorial on the 40th anniversary of Jimi Hendrix's death -- Sept. 18, 1970:

I pick up my axe and fight like a bomber now, but you still blast me down to the ground.

Before becoming Jimi Hendrix’s manager, Michael Jeffery had been a covert op for British Intelligence. According to one of his original clients, Eric Burdon of the Animals, Jeffery often boasted of his 007 escapades during the Cold War -- staging assassinations in Greece, torturing KGB agents, blowing up Russian/Egyptian bases in the Suez.

The Animals’ singer, Jimi’s future close friend, took these stories as drunken tall tales until, early one morning, the former MI6 agent invited him out to the London harbor where the U.S. Seventh Fleet happened to be trolling for some lost nukes. His manager emerged from the water in scuba gear, holding a black box. Pointing out to the armada, the ex-spy pulled a switch: suddenly the harbor was rocked with underwater explosions.

    that is interesting. so do they think he was waterboarded with red wine? if that manager was actually an intelligence agent then he would be very familiar with that technique so it is not inconceivable...

    Beavis: All my friends are brown and red? What does that mean?
    Butthead: It means that his friends are like turds and that they like suck.
    Beavis: Heh heh. Oh yeah. Yeah! Get those spoons out of my face before I shove them up your butt!
    Butthead: Huh huh.

    This is some crazy shit. I wish there were some sources listed or something, because the whole sounds rather plausible, but most of this information I've just never heard before. Upon a quick Wikipedia investigation, this is not the first time this theory has been put forth, although it sounds like TheWrap.com has assumed certain things to be facts which are actually more hearsay (such as Jeffery's espionage career).

    I don't know what to think. If there's some proof somewhere that Jeffery's really did collect $2 million in insurance, I would have to say this story is probably true.
