What if Jimi Hendrix got together with Steve Winwood and called the band "Crosstown Traffic." In the movie "Stoned" it portrayed Brian Jones truly living the life of "Sex, Drugs, and Rock n Roll" only to leave Rock and Roll behind in the sole pursuit of the other two. Just like all dramatisation they bend the facts for dramatic effect. It's like the old chicken and the egg argument: Did Brian spiral out-of-control because he was removed or was he removed because he was spiralling out-of-control?

As a fan of Steve Winwood, it is wonderful to think of the Crosstown Traffic jams he and Hendrix could have together! |

Jimi and winwood making a band called crosstown traffic. What a genius idea. Those two made a deadly combination.
I would sacrifice Keith, ****, I'd sacrifice all of the stones to have Hendrix back. And Mitch Mitchell. |

I remember seeing a movie about Jimi and (they) made him seem nervous about the idea of playing with Steve Wniwood. It would had been awesome if they did get together for a album or something.

Brian was brilliant, but like Syd Barratt, eventually couldn`t play due to his substance abuse. The rest of the band really had no choice but to sack him.
Rumours persist that his builder/minder Frank Thorogood was responsible for Brian`s death. I dunno-both men are dead and the true events of that July night in 1969 will probably never be known. Last edited by William Zanzinger; 06-15-2012 at 04:43 PM. |
