As I Understand It™, celebrated geetar hero James Marshall "Jiminy" Hendrix died on this day, September 18, 1970, in the Notting Hill district of West London. The American expat lived at No. 23 Brook Street, in what is presently the Handel House Museum. At the time, Hendrix was rumoured to have been dating actress Anna Scott — the "Foxy Lady" of song fame and ex-galfriend of "daft prick" Hugh Grant, proprietor of The Travel Book Company® on Portobello Road. While his life there was glossed over in the later film, Hendrix is said to have called Notting Hill "the only home I ever had." Bloody hell. RIP and Happy Anni-hearse-ary™, Master Jiminy!
