Wanna hear something wild? She was 45 in 1966. Younger than I am now.
Jimi changed everything.
He put everything beyond reach. We're still trying to catch him.
I'm in the middle of watching Woodstock on VH1.
He's coming on stage soon. He'll be, and I'll be 22 again,
and we'll fly on wings of sound we've dreamed and redreamed.
Hey, shake loose some of those nails that are holding your soul balloon down.
Get up and dance.

Oh my. Never as beautiful as he was in Woodstock. I liked his hair clipped short. Wonder what happened to that turquoise ring? I think the fringed vest was auctioned off some years ago. Don't remember for how much but it was certainly beyond my reach.
Didn't some hippie chicks make some kind of plaster sculpture/mold thingie of his dong once? I read a biography of him once and I seem to recall something about it being like a giant anaconda or something.
Rumor has it that he was quite well hung (well of course!) and the plaster cast is supposed to be a true story as well. It was a groupie duo that hung around and made plaster casts of many rock star dicks. Supposedly. My guess is that in the movie "The Banger Sisters", the concept of their rock star photography collection came from these plaster girls.
eoe - he was my first crush too! I always thought I was born into the wrong decade. Even in the 80s I had a poster of Hendrix and a pencil drawing of Jim Morrison (made by moi) on my bedroom walls.

be still my heart...
I had hair just like that at various points in time during college. Well, maybe not that big, but it was close. How come I didn't have women chasing
me around trying to make sculptures of
my penis?
Which brings up another question...would rock stars still be the legends they are if they weren't good-looking? I mean, say Jimi had Tiny Tim's body, and Marty Feldman's eyes? What if he had a hump on his back and horrible acne scars all over his face? Would he still have been regarded as such a legend? I wonder...
Of course. There are plenty of rock stars who aren't/weren't all too attractive. But their talent, and the way they strutted their stuff, made them hot.
Mick Jagger isn't very pretty, is he?
But he could strut his stuff.
I guess you guys are right. But that only goes for serious rock stars with talent, like the ones you mentioned.
I bet if John Bon Jovi didn't look like he does he'd be doing Karaoke at Yogi's bar and grill every thursday night.
Ok, I'll agree with that point.
