Electric Church was nominated for deletion. The discussion was closed on 19 December 2011 with a consensus to merge. Its contents were merged into Jimi Hendrix. The original page is now a redirect to this page. For the contribution history and old versions of the redirected article, please see its history; for its talk page, see here.

Text and/or other creative content from this version of Jimi Hendrix was copied or moved into Canadian drug charges and trial of Jimi Hendrix with this edit. The former page's history now serves to provide attribution for that content in the latter page, and it must not be deleted as long as the latter page exists.

Hendrix is actually from Renton, not Seattle

Renton, as a smaller municipality in King County, is often historically conflated with Seattle. Renton's Chamber of Commerce will gladly confirm that Hendrix was born and spent much of his youth there. Hendrix is also listed as a Notable Person on Renton, Washington. Stebenthom (talk) 05:41, 24 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The official Jimi Hendrix website and other reliable sources say that he was born at the King County Hospital in Seattle, which is now known as the Harborview Medical Center. Hendrix is buried in Renton and his childhood home was moved from Seattle to Renton. But I see no evidence that he was born in Renton. Cullen328 (talk) 07:23, 17 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

101st Airborn Division

According to Wikipedia, Dan Inosanto, a Filipino martial artist and close friend of Bruce Lee, was also in the 101st Airborn Division as a paratrooper from 1959 to 1961. There is a slim possibility that he and Jimi Hendrix crossed paths in 1961. Dan is 88 years old in 2024. It would be fascinating to know if they did, and to document it. 24.246.125.95 (talk) 15:58, 12 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
