Jimi Hendrix, who set London’s club scene ablaze and literally set his guitar ablaze while performing at Woodstock, also had a burning desire to study classical music. He moved from the United States to England, where he lived next door to the flat where George Frideric Handel once lived in London’s Mayfair neighborhood. Hendrix is a star who lives on forever, kind of like Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. They both died way too young, yet they both still rock the world of music.
