Imagine Jimi talking nowadays about his bad albums of the 70s,
his failed Jazz project from 1981 and his synthi tryouts in the
early 90s.
Part of his legend is that he didn´t have to keep it going.

This picture is so strange and scary... Jimi is barely a year older than Mick but it seems he's 50 or so.
As Keith would so often say in the 60's and 70's : "just say no to drugs!"

Jimi looks like Jimi.
JH looked like a human being in 67 and 68. By 69 he started looking like someone who hadn't a proper night of sleep in years. Was it the punishing working schedule or the hard drugs? I don't know...
In 1970 he looked even worse. Check out the "At Berkeley" footage where he's sitting ay the back of a limo : it's the sight of a man between life and death.
Even at his lowest (76?/77?) Keef looked healthy compared to Hendrix. Maybe he was a "discriminating junkie" after all while Jimi took everything that was handed to him, all the time.
