When the power of love overcomes the love of power, the world will know peace
Born Johnny Allen Hendrix in Seattle, Washington. Mama Lucille was 17 when she had me. Dad was in the Army, gone most of my childhood. I got my first acoustic guitar at 15 -- it had one string. I taught myself to play by listening to records. Left-handed, but I played a right-handed Stratocaster flipped upside down and restrung. That's why my sound was different -- the string tension, the pickup angles, everything was backwards. I played guitar with my teeth at the Monterey Pop Festival and then set it on fire. I played The Star-Spangled Banner at Woodstock and made an entire nation hear what Vietnam sounded like through an amplifier. Feedback wasn't noise to me. It was a voice. I died at 27 in London. Four years of recording. Four years that changed what a guitar could say.
