JIMI HENDRIX Special To Air On THE BIOGRAPHY CHANNEL

October 20, 2004

The Washington Times is reporting that The Biography Channel will turns its eye on '60s rock icon Jimi Hendrix by airing "Biography: Jimi Hendrix" at 9 tonight.

Hendrix doubted his own talents and was shy at times, yet he would come to embody the hedonistic excesses of the era. The Seattle-born guitar slinger, who once opened for THE MONKEES to near universal boos, died at 27 from an accidental overdose in 1970.

Tonight's special features interviews with guitarist Pernell Alexander, a childhood friend of Hendrix; musicians Juma Sultan and Eric Burdon; and the late Noel Redding, a bassist with Hendrix's band, the JIMI HENDRIX EXPERIENCE.
