October 30, 2010, 14 years ago
According to Blockshopper Seattle, JIMI HENDRIX' sister and chief executive officer and president of Experience Hendrix LLC, and Authentic Hendrix LLC, Janie Hendrix has listed for sale a six-bedroom, 5.25-bath home at 15909 48th Ave. S. in Tukwila for $1.425 million.
The 6,737-square-foot house was built in 1979 in the Tukwila South neighborhood. Carmen Gayton of Windermere Real Estate/Northwest Inc. is the listing agent for the house.
BraveWords.com spoke with Janie Hendrix recently about Jimi's continued dominance in the world of popular music 40 years after his death.
"It’s interesting because, yes, he did have the talent and it seems like he kind of knew in some ways that he didn’t have a whole lot of time left here to create what he needed to create, so here we have decades of music that he created in four years. And it is kind of interesting because when he was alive it really hurt him that people didn’t get him, that they didn’t understand his music. People would say, 'oh he plays rock.' And he’s like, 'please don’t label my music. You’ll just frustrate you and you’ll frustrate me, because it’s not a label.' And I think that here we are forty years later and I think people now are more accepting of that. Before it was like, where do you fit in? Do you fit in on the hard rock station, do you fit in on the blues station, do you fit in on the R&B;/soul station? Where do you fit in these six little boxes, where now we have Sirius Radio. We have channels and channels and blue collar comedy. Who would have thought that there’d be so many different choices of things that you listen to. BOB DYLAN has his own station, so I think that it’s just a different generation that accepts, 'okay, if you don’t want to be titled, fine, it’s Jimi and we love it.' So I think that’s a great evolution we’ve landed to."Read the entire interview here.
