About this product

Product Information

"'Scuse Me While I Kiss the Sky: Jimi Hendrix: Voodoo Child is the newly revised, updated, and expanded edition of the definitive biography of the man behind the legend. It melds the original text, which featured Hendrix's voice in complete interviews, with new material - to the extent that Hendrix could easily be described as the coauthor of this work." "Henderson now offers information that was initially difficult to obtain in the years following Hendrix's death. With the passage of time, originally reluctant informants have come forward, and many of the cover-ups and legal battles have been resolved. All of this has shed new light on Hendrix's life, as well as on the circumstances surrounding his mysterious death." "This edition includes more of Hendrix's personal writings, and goes more in depth about his romantic life and the music - its creation, problems, and triumphs - as scholarship and recognition of his importance have deepened over time. While revealing essential information about his untimely death, 'Scuse Me While I Kiss the Sky reads like a grand adventure novel but also includes salient cultural, political, and historical background."--BOOK JACKET.

Reviews
"No one who wants to assemble a coherent version of Jimi's story can afford to be without this book -- it is not only the best version, it is the only complete one."-- Dave Marsh, author ofBorn to Run, "Henderson hasn't just given us Hendrix complete. He has also written a fascinating study of the development of rock."--The Phoenix(Boston), "The most thorough and consistently excellent biography of any rock music figure."--San Francisco Examiner/Chronicle, "A harrowing and exhilarating story...Making sense of Hendrix's life, career, and art with such moment-to-moment intensity, one comes away convinced that we caught no more than a glimpse of Hendrix while he was here to see in the flesh..."--Rolling Stone, "The New Journalismbegan on the Lower East Side in the mid-sixties when poets and fiction writers became reporters forThe East Village Other, mother of theUnderground Press. David Henderson was one of the pioneers of the style. He combines his gifts as a poet and a reporter in'Scuse Me While I Kiss the Sky,and the result is a rewarding and unique reading experience. It is part thriller and part lament for some tragic lives who enlivened an exciting decade."-- Ishmael Reed

'Scuse Me While I Read About That Guy
This is without a doubt the best Hendrix bio out there. If you think you know about him, get this book. I saw this somewhere, but after reading it, it's really like Jimi is sitting there talking to you. It's very in depth and it draws you in. This is definitely a good read for any fan of Jimi.
