The unfortunate thing about Jimi Hendrix was, and I think the same thing that happened to Prince, but I can bet it was the same thing that happened to Jim Morrison, that happened to Hendrix, is that they're bigger than life. The expectations that are on artists like that, from the public, is huge. And when you're an artist and you wanna maybe kind of change things, and you're constantly being creative, . . . they get pigeon-holed, and when they get held to a place where everyone expects them to do the same thing, like with Hendrix it was like burning the guitar and all that. . . . When they saw Jimi Hendrix get onstage - and he wasn't in the best shape, to be honest with you - but when he played. . . to me it was amazing.
