My Son Jimi (Book) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this book yesterday and finished it today. I have always felt, for reasons I could never really explain, that Jimi had a kindred spirit with my own. His father's recollections on Jimi's early life let me knowwhy.I'm so glad Mr. Al Hendrix wrote this book. The lies about Jimi arelegion. I remember in the 60's that most of what I heard about him had todo with drugs. It's a real shame that you have to explore a person's lifelike a detective (in a country with a supposedly "free" press) tofind out what they were really like. There is one thing I really likedabout the Hendrix family the book revealed; their free and easyinteractions with non-blacks. No wonder Jimi's music and message wasuniversal. In a time when blacks and whites seem to be once againwithdrawing into their own groups I found the Hendrix family to be veryrefreshing. Being black myself I totally reject the pressures broughtagainst me to participate only in things stamped with the "black"seal of approval. And I'd like to salute Al Hendrix for being a real fatherand taking care of his family, even children he didn't sire. A lot of mentoday wouldn't do what he did. Jimi was very fortunate to have such afather and I think he knew it. Thank you Mr. Hendrix for sharing your lifeand that of your son with us on a more intimate level. I for one willalways love Jimi and hold a fondness for him in my heart. And now for youas well.
