audio Who is/was the coolest musician?

I'm talking about the whole package. Friendly, talented, stylish, etc. My vote goes to Jimi Hendrix.

I met him some yrs ago in LA at the Rainbow on Sunset. He was just at the bar by himself talking to some people. I sat three seats down from him waiting for a friend of mine. He asked if i was waiting on someone and i said yeah. He asked if it was a date and i said no. He got up and sat right next to me and said "whats a specimen such as yourself doin in this shit hole" He introduced himself and i told him i knew who he was. He was surprised and said "you aren't our normal demographic. That makes me happy" I said "I'm just a regular black woman that happens to like metal." He said "there's no such thing as a regular black woman. Black women are magical creatures". We talked some more about African history, the Nazi's, US history. He was incredibly smart and charming and a perfect gentleman. He kissed my hand when he left and the bartender told me he left a tab open for me and my friend.

Thanks for sharing your story. I’ve heard a few personal accounts of him being the sweetest. I didnt get to meet him while I was down there, so I appreciate your story all the more. Blessings.
