Yellow Ain't So Mellow

Been running through my Hendrix collection as of late. I can’t even begin to imagine what was going on inside Jimi Hendrix’s head whilst he was writing Spanish Castle Magic. Talk about riding hard, no? Back in their day, substance addiction treatment was as distant a possibility as was the oft referred to flying farmyard pig. It was fuel for them, and I personally think it did require a substantial amount of courage, and not the cowardice commonly associated with junkies, to drown your body in chemicals, deal with your consciousness on an alternate plane, and then face the crash that came after. Bold as love, indeed.
