December 9, 2013, 10 years ago
According to RTÉ Ten, lost interviews and diaries by JIMI HENDRIX in which the guitar hero reveals his thoughts about forming his first band, racism and his plans for the future have been uncovered.
Writing in 1967, Hendrix revealed his thoughts on racism. "Race isn't a problem in my world. I don't look at things in terms of races. I look at things in terms of people. I'm not thinking about black people or white people. I'm thinking about the obsolete and the new.
"There's no colour part now, no black and white. The frustrations and riots going on today are all about more personal things. Everybody has wars within themselves, so they form different things, and it comes out as a war against other people. They get justified as they justify others in their attempts to get personal freedom. That's all it is."Read more at RTÉ Ten.
