    The funeral was on Tuesday. Only eighty-nine people showed up. A chunk of those people were his family, including his mom, dad and seven brother and sisters. I don't understand why no one came, I mean, he was well liked, or so I thought. I saw some guy in the back in a Guardian jacket. I couldn't help but think that he was only there to make sure Andy was really dead. The service itself was done beautifully. There was no mention of the Royals, or why he was murdered. I'd guess that's because it'd be too hard for his parents to hear straight out of his dangerous ways. They had no idea what he was involved in. He…

    Jimi Hendrix will always be known for his remarkable ability to play the electric guitar, but one of his characteristics that didn’t go unnoticed was his extravagant image. Hendrix was well known for his unique style and sense of fashion. He gave a completely new meaning to the rock and roll style in the 1960’s, giving a sharp and glamorous edge to it. His 60’s signature pieces such as bell bottoms, vests, scarves, rings and pins that often acknowledged his support of the hippie movement matched perfectly with the jackets he wore. Hendrix sported all kinds of vintage jackets ranging from red and blue velvet suits, psychedelic patterned silk suits, to the military dress jackets that often times raised controversy. In the biopic, Jimi: All Is By My Side, director by John Ridley captures a scene inspired by true events of Hendrix’s encounter with English police officers in London.
