Jimi Hendrix - “Purple Haze”

Jimi always claimed that this song wasn’t about drugs at all, but instead a dream he had where he was walking under the sea. Am I really supposed to believe that?

  10. izzthekid said: Yeah. The drug reference was apparently coined when he played at the Monterey Pops festival in 67. There was a strain of marijuana being passed around that was remarkably purple. Jimi had written the song long before this
