Hendrix and the Spook review - a search for clarity in murky waters

He was a gifted guitar player,that's all.Guitar players are not important.He was poorly educated,came from a broken family,and surrounded by hedonists and God knows what didn't help either.This film,although good-intentioned serves no purpose at all in my opinion.

Hendrix was more than a gifted guitar player. Like all human beings, he was indeed important. As a guitarist, he was tremendously important. He alone inspired legions of kids to want to do something with their lives & pick up & play guitar in pursuit of artistic self-expression. He was an innovator several times over: innovating not only guitar as a multi-voiced instrument of great complexity, but as a sound engineer & producer, creating the 1st multi-track studio of it's kind which today still exists & thrives as a Sonic Temple, Electric Lady Land. He was also an innovator in modern touring as it is known today. Hendrix was the 1st to play venues of the size he played since he was the worldwide live performance box office draw. The logistical methods used to accommodate the demand for Jimi were directly developed because of him & have been used by everyone since, from musicians to politicians. Jimi was an innovator in the use of multi-track recording, approach to guitar voicing & lyrical approach & content which were not seen before him. To flippantly issue forth unwarranted & unasked for commentary designed to minimize him as an artist & human being is reckless & disrespectful, also myopic in not just Hendrix himself but to the era which engendered him. There were those who indeed saw Hendrix as wroth more dead than alive, had motive, means & opportunity to murder him & bury the murder as nothing more than yet another "uneducated hedonist from a broken family". This film serves a very valuable purpose & that is to shed light on the vicious cold-blooded premeditated murder of a pop culture icon who was in the way of several people & establishments. The doctors present stated very clearly that Hendrix's death was not self-induced, but the act of suspicious events that involved other parties. Everyone's story about his death from Danneman & Budren to Jeffery is wildly contrived & different from what actually happened & constant;y changed over half a century. Their stories are fabricated & self-motivated, but not truthful. What happened to Hendrix was cold-blooded murder by a greedy gambling addicted former MI5 agent who laundered mafia money in off-shore islands, Jeffery. Less than a quarter of a year after Hendrix's murder, his real girlfriend was pushed from the top floor of a building in New York to silence her. Less than 5 years after Hendrix's murder, the perpetrator himself, Jeffery's plane blew up in mid-air to silence him. To say that this film selves no purpose & to write any human being off as unimportant due to the circumstances of their own life, then to throw words like "hedonism" around as if they are insults, is itself also a criminal act & cultural treason.
