I am sad to report the death of guitar great Jimi Hendrix. He died on September 18, 1970 at the very young age of 27. An autopsy report proved that Hendrix asphyxiated on his own vomit. Unbeknownst to his girlfriend, Monika Dannemann, Jimi had taken 9 Vesperax, a prescription sleeping pill. According to lyrics found in his apartment after his death, people believed that he had committed suicide. This was proved to be incorrect. Hendrix was probably best known for his band, The Jimi Hendrix Experience. Their best remembered song was “Purple Haze,” which is still played on radios today. At the peak of his popularity, Jimi headlined the 1969 Woodstock music festival. He played an amazing set, which included an all exclusive guitar version of the “Star-Spangled Banner). Hendrix will be deeply missed in the hearts of true rock fans around the world. His unique guitar style can never be adapted and is truly exclusive to Hendrix himself. Some of his guitars are displayed at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. The world will miss Jimi Hendrix, guitar god.  -**Matthew Virella**
