More twisties, in case ya didn't already know...
It's rumoured that Monika D. may have been getting ready to spill the proverbial beans over Jimi's death is why she overdosed in 1996. She had lost a court battle to Kathy E. and was said to be depressed over the whole deal. Then Kathy comes out with a book that basically reiterated Jimi's drug addiction. I believe Monika was ready to recant her original story. Then the ambulance driver speaks up about the crime scene.

http://www.jfkmontreal.com/john_lennon/Chapter12.htm - is that the same link posted earlier in this thread? Anyway, I remember seeing a video with one of the ambulance drivers where he described the bed where they found Jimi, said it was covered with fresh red wine, which coincides with the whole forced scenario. I also read another thing that said that's one
method in which hit men kill people. So the ambulance guy said he hadn't said anything until now because he was afraid, but he felt it was time for the facts to be known before they're lost forever. Makes me wonder if ambulance guy is still alive after his public confession. Stories like that that are contrary are usually chalked up to someone trying to cash in.
I also found an interview where Billy (or Buddy) more recently stated that Jimi had been cutting way back on drug use in the latter part of his life because he wanted to take his music in other directions and felt the drugs were keeping him from doing that. So the idea of an overdose was hard for him to believe. I can't find the link, for some reason.

I wouldn't want to be in the Hendrix camp. I think Leon is the black sheep, even as a kid. That's a tough way to live. From the research I've done, it seems Janie only met Jimi once. Al probably chose her to "run the business" because she seemed more capable. As a fan, I don't agree that she merchandises Jimi like Elvis. I don't need a Jimi Hendrix coffee mug, but I am grateful for all the recordings that have been released.
Next year I'll go again and stay the night in case there's lots of partying. I'll also ask the office staff where Lucille is located. If they give me the runaround, then I'll know something is up.
Did you know Jim Morrison is living in southern Oregon on a horse ranch and has appeared in independent movies as a cowboy? I work with a guy who claims to have talked to someone who has talked with Jim. He says Jim is ready to reveal himself and tour again but his wife has pleaded with him not to because she's afraid it will ruin their lives and she likes life on the ranch with Jim.
So many musical possibilities silenced forever. That's the real crime. I think those people in DC have been reading Mein Kampf.
