There are two times in history,
Before Hendrix and after.
In a time of dull conformity,
Jimi came and set us free:
Banishing the black and grey,
The discipline that overstayed
World War Two's necessity.
He blew the war's cobwebs away,
Restored the colours we had lost,
In a glowing rock glasnost;
Helped us articulate our dreams,
Reduced the flow of silent screams.
I like this line: He blew the war's cobwebs away, Restored the colors we had lost. Gives meaning to Jimi's music, that I had not realized before. Thank you for sharing this amazing poem. RoseAnn

Never was much of a Hendrix fan but your poen i very good. I was a Jim Morrison fan.
Jimi Hendrix passed away when I was still a child. Much before I ever heard him, heard of him. Thank you Stephen for sharing this reminder to all of his admirers
Marvellous tribute to Jimi, the one and only Jimi Hendrix
Yes Mr.Hendrix did, Stephen. You summed it up quite accurately! Thanks for sharing!
