When the power of love overcomes the love of power, the world will know peace!
-Jimmy Hendrix-

I have seen this quoted in many places, but can't seem to find its source. Is it true that Jimi Hendrix wrote this lyric? What song? I don't seem to recall it.

Oh. I was hoping that the premise was that Jimmy Hendrix was, himself, an urban legend, and had in fact never existed.

A quick search shows your quote being attributed to Hendrix, but I see no lyrical connection and do not remember ever hearing that in any Hendrix tune I've ever listened to. I've listened to everything Hendrix put out except for Band of Gypsies. I mean, I've listened to some of Gypsy Sun & Rainbows, but haven't heard everything by them and the lyric could be hiding in one of those songs.

Some people think Hendrix was gay because they heard him sing "Scuse me while I Kiss This Guy".

Jimi Hendrix was a Cylon, and apparently so was/is Dylan.

I have no idea, but here is Jimi Hendrix made out of an audio tape.

^ Awesome!

His Band of Gypsies stuff is awesome.

I've never heard the quote though. It doesn't sound like the way he'd word it... not that I'm some Hendrix expert or anything, though.

I love the Jimi Hendrix Blues album. He covers some classic blues songs...just sit back light a cigar and chill.

That quote sounds like something Hewie Lewis would say.
