The music of Hendrix wakes people up to their possibilities. It's more than just dreaming about being a guitar hero.

I don't like to be labeled, to be anything. I've made the mistake before myself of labeling my music, but it's counter-productive.

I have so many opinions about everything it just comes out during my music. It's a battle for me. I try not to be preachy. That's a real danger.

My music isn't anything but me. It has jazz in it, and rock'n'roll, and it has an urgency to it.

The '60s was one of the first times the power of music was used by a generation to bind them together.
