Jimi died 42 years ago today, and it should be marked.

john lennon - the rolling stone interview 1970

In December 1970, Rolling Stone founder Jann Wenner interviewed John Lennon in New York City. It's Lennon (with Yoko) shortly after the Beatles breakup and still a bit sore from it, and just after he'd just finished his first solo album John Lennon/Plastic Ono Band.
Lennon later repudiated some of his more venomous statements in the interview and always decried the fact that Wenner published it (cashed in) in book form.
But Lennon is relaxed and in great form - direct, honest, and humourous.
