Rock Roadie

Aside from the amazing talent of people like Jim Morrison, Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix and Kurt Cobain… it’s the mystery and/or the young age at which they died that adds to their music legend. James Tappy Wright, the one time road manager for not only Tina Turner but Elvis and Jimi Hendrix has a new book out called Rock Roadie in which he claims Jimi Hendrix didn’t just OD… he was murdered. His claim is that Hendrix was forced to swallow pills and then basically drowned in red wine. Furthermore he says, “Hendrix’s manager Mike Jeffrey was heavily in debt, and so took out a $2 million life-insurance policy on him.” Wright claims Jeffrey (the manager) told him Hendrix was “worth more to him dead than alive.”
