WHAT?! Seriously?!

Yeah, sure, this is true, because:

1. In the movie Men In Black, Agent K said "Elvis isn't dead, he just went home".

2. Led Zepplin were from a different dimension, based on the lyrics of Kashmir.

3. Ziggy Stardust was really from Mars.

4. Bob Dylan, Tom Petty, and Bruce Springsteen are aliens because no one can understand a word they're saying.

You may have said that "im not in any way stating that he is an et," but man... of all the silly threads to be started... I'm rather glad I am first to respond.

An alien....no. Possessed? Yes. I really like the series Sold Their Souls to Rock and Roll on YouTube. I believe to be that talented, something has to take over you. Many artists speak of being empty while performing while "something else" takes over. What is that "something else" that takes over? And you be that rich and famous, you accept things into your life you would never have, join societies that filter what you produce.

No, he wasn't an alien.

And his new album rocks!

thank you for that laugh.
Mr, Hendrix was amazingly talented. I believe he unlocked a part of his brain that most don't know existed. His secret was hidden under his bandanna.

OH! And Gwar! I can't believe I forgot about Gwar... they've even said, repeatedly, that they are aliens.

Yup, I saw Men in Black too! Cool movie. But alas, just a movie.

However, I will never discount the possibility that aliens are living among us. Never ever. As a matter of fact, I would be just partially surprised if it turned out he was an alien.

Having heard just about everything Jimi ever recorded , even a 5 cd set of very early bar recordings , I really do believe he may have been visited by pleiadians .

Nah, just one of the best guitar players I've ever seen. And awsome music <3

Jimi Hendrix not only just smoked weed, half the time he was tripping on acid and other hallucinogens which most of his songs were inspired from. He was a good man and an even better musician. To bad he died so young for his time, may he rest in peace.

Extraterrestrial? No, I've always believed Jimi was able to connect directly into the collective unconscious through a guitar. His soul vibrated on the right frequency and thus his body truly became a vessel of creativity and novelty. This is a form of being capable to all of us here on Earth; perhaps we are just quick to proclaim 'aliens' because abilities like this one are normally related to them.

............................................................................................................................ no?

Yep, still don't believe Hendrix was an alien... Blue Man Group, oh hell yes, but Hendrix? Naah...

He was an extremely talented guitarist who was way ahead of his time. An alien?

This is right on the money... IMO. Let's just say that the man was rather enlightened. I probably shouldn't discuss my opinions as to how he became enlightened though....

Has anyone here read "Stranger in a Strange Land" by Robert Heinlein???

I have talked to his former brother in law Guitar Shorty a couple of times. I asked him if anybody had mentioned this theory to him. He laughed. Jimi wasn't an alien but he was one "hell of a guitar player."
