    Shy by some sort of nature it seems, but at least in an interview like this that's because everything that came out of his mouth was absolutely explosive to the established ideology of the generation that was at home watching the show. Most of it probably went over the heads of Dick Cavett viewers, like my grandpa for example. He was doing his best here to deflect the medium and get a message across despite it being on a primetime talk show. He's also clearly on acid during this interview.

He had as much a right to play the anthem as anyone, and he did so to express his experience as an American.

    It interesting that Cavett was saying there was some controversy about it a month after Hendrix played it. Besides the 150,000 (or less) hippies still at Woodstock on Monday morning who heard it live, most people in America presumably had no idea what Hendrix's national anthem sounded like in September of 1969 when Hendrix was on Cavett. The movie and soundtrack album came out in March of 1970.

    Him saying, around 1:26, that he'd had 3 "nervous breakdowns" in this business. I wish there was a clue to how frequently he thought that these had occurred, like, in the previous 3 years, or less, considering this was 1969, or more, considering he'd been playing awhile longer than 3 years; and wonder, sort of, if it was the industry of music that got to him, including Dick Cavett interviews. But then, he may have simply been exhausted, as he tried to point out. He got thru it great, to me, but could tell that Dick was a bit thrown-off and, trying yo be graceful, didn't probe too deeply, although he got close. All in all, we're lucky to see this, at all: Jimi RIP.

    In my opinion, he learned sound, just like Kurt Cobain, Lennon etc. lots of artists self taught, due to lack of money, and had to learn by EAR, which teaches you how to notice what sounds work together. When you think about it, music is just our way of trying to put sound onto paper, we learn it because its easier to understand, but if you can learn from ear, like instead of learning the notes, you learn from listening, you actually come out a better musician overall.

    After listening to this mans music, and seeing videos of him on stage, I was so sure he’d be a Little Richard type character - very outlandish, confident and with a great idea of how talented he was. Just like Little Richard, no one could’ve blamed Jimi if he acted like that, but Jimi was the complete opposite. Soft spoken, shy and incredibly humble. A beautiful, beautiful soul. One who we all miss, and wish got to live longer.

Just force-fed mainstream Disney inspected celebrities who never worked a day to get where they are, a fancy marketing strategy and endless repetitive media platforms that all play the same trite sewage over and over without ever letting any talent in because it would show the current celebrities for the trash they are.

    Everything I've read about him mentions that (unless he was drink) he was a soft-spoken, humble, and well mannered guy. Beautiful heart.

    In photos and film you see his size, he makes "I'm a bad a$$" poses to the camera for pictures and his music was played loud and it helped define psychedelic but he was a gentle loving man.

    Hendrix wasn’t a rockstar. Jeff Beck was the first guitarist. Hendrix was an electric alchemist. Hendrix transcended past rockstar almost instantly.

    The movie with Andre 3000 was a joke. Jimi’s girlfriend has gone on record in saying “he NEVER put his hands on me. He was the kindest most nicest man I’ve ever known. My time with him was the best of my life”

    @@ezekielofjudah3701 If the Hendrix family could approve it, i would love to see a REAL biopic on Jim’s career. Andre 3000 was excellent in the role but the story was very inaccurate. U don’t even get to hear his songs!!
