Jim n Janis


Interesting it is, while you learn about the great musicians of the 60's. Jimi Hendrix dies and two weeks later Janis ODs herself to the other side. A year later, Jim's Indian spirit leaves him and never comes back.

What's interesting is that Jim mentions Janis in one of his poems. Or am I just dreaming.

Listen to this, and I'll tell you 'bout the heartache
I'll tell you 'bout the heartache and the loss of God
I'll tell you 'bout the hopeless night
The meager food for souls forgot
I'll tell you 'bout the maiden with raw iron soul

Now, listen to this, and I'll tell you 'bout the Texas
I'll tell you 'bout the Texas Radio
I'll tell you 'bout the hopeless night
Wandering the Western dream
Tell you 'bout the maiden with raw iron soul

"The maiden with raw iron soul". I must be crazy to think that he is actually referring to Janis in those lines. But wasn't she the maiden with the raw iron soul.
