    A bit off topic, but not. Nora Hendrix, Jimi Hendrix's grandmother, has had a cool modular housing unit that helps the homeless in Vancouver named after her, and this article talks about why.

    "Purple Haze" was recorded 55 years ago today.

    What was so "trippy" (there's just no other way to put it!) about the U.S. version of Are You Experienced was that it kicked off with this song that  was so far out of the norm, "Purple Haze", both lyrically and musically.  And for me, there was the double knockout punch of "Manic Depression" which is still one of my very favorite Hendrix songs. That three note/ three note intro followed by Mitch;s rolling drums and Jimi's rocking riff flattens me every time!

    Agreed!  I love that Maui footage, even with the wind issues.
