Jimi Hendrix..Rock Star and Legend

J	imi, a talented guitarist
I	n the world of Rock
M	ade young girls cry 
I	n his world, how he shined!

H	ard wired to play
E	arly love for guitars
N	ever found Nirvana 
D	ying each day, endless pain
R	iding strings of his music	
I	n his mind, demons taunted	
X	iting  too soon, young legend!

Hendrix poured his heart into his music, Annalise, and I think you are right in saying he was "dying each day." He turned to drugs because he couldn't leave the Vietnam War behind him. Big congratulations on your wonderful win! Love, Carolyn
