Jimi Hendrix 40 Years RIP: My local Daily Echo ran a spread a couple of weeks ago remebering Jimi's untimely passing, 40 year's ago today. Grateful of the privilege that my comments were included, (it's proudly posted in the 'Scrapbook' section), my son, Steve, has just handed me with the centrefold from today's Daily Star, which also has an appropriate epitaph.
