Jimi Hendrix would have been 70 today

[dr b]

What if he had lived? Would he be touring on the oldies circuit? Would he have been the 6th Traveling Wilbury? Would he have been a "guest artist" on the Stones current tour? One can only ponder.

He is still seventy years old but much quieter now.

[emmie]

don't think he was destined to live a long life somehow.

If he'd lived he'd probably be dead by now

I expect he is up there jamming with Elvis and John and George and Freddie and Marc and perhaps Sandy Denny (who I have only just discovered).

I'd like to think he'd have returned to his blues roots. The album you show, "Blues", confirms he was a truly blistering blues guitarist.
Happy birthday, Jimi.

This acoustic number, just for a few mates, shows just how good a blues player he was.

There is a lot to be said as a rock icon for living fast dying you, and leaving a sedriously fabulous body of work to be remembered by.

I hope JH would have been doing as The Stones are - what he loves for as long as he can.

That's all any of us want for our heroes.
