Wild thing: the short, spellbinding life of Jimi Hendrix

Prologue

'He was hearing music but didn't have an instrument to bring it to earth'

'Jimmy was a hippy before anyone knew what a hippy was'

'I still have my guitar and amp and as long as I have that no fool can stop me living'

'Everything's so-so in this big raggedy city of New York'

'I've got just the person for you'

'Quite honestly, Chas...he's almost too good'

'Oh my god, I'm not god any more'

'Go out and buy us a tin of lighter fuel'

'Not on my network'

'From rumor to legend'

'He was a life-saver'

Electric ladies

'I'm going to die before I'm thirty'

'Nothing but a band of gypsies'

Miles and miles

'Dad, my love...'

'Hey man, lend me your comb'

'Just call me helium'

Goodnight sweet black prince'

'A tall black guardian angel in a hat'

''Scuse me while I kiss the pie'
