On this, the anniversary of the premature death of guitar genius James Marshall "Jimi" Hendrix, CW asks you to take a moment and watch this clip of his moving (and impromptu!) performance of The Star Spangled Banner at Woodstock. Notice how he recreates the sound of bombing with his axe, conveying the societal unrest of the 60s through those beautifully grungy guitar riffs. Listen to it hand-over-heart. Hell, if this doesn't make you support the Patriot Act, I don't know what will. Kidding!
Oh, Jimi, what could have been...
RIP James Marshall Hendrix, b. Nov. 27, 1942, d. Sept. 18, 1970.
