Jimi Hendrix Trivia
|
- Hendrix and Pete Townshend of The Who got into a heated argument over who was going to follow whom at the Moterey Pop Festival. Neither artist wanted to follow the other so John Phillips flipped a coin to decide who was going to go on. Townshend won, so Hendrix had to follow The Who. For the record, both bands had their breakout performances that night.
- Wrote Voodoo Child, which would later be the entrance theme to pro wrestler, Hulk Hogan.
- Was one-quarter Cherokee, through his grandmother.
- He was voted the 6th Greatest Rock 'n' Roll Artist of all time by Rolling Stone.
- Elected to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame (as a member of the Jimi Hendrix Experience) in 1992.
