Jimi Hendrix went into “Alpha Jerk”

bbdance411.jpg

I just saw a friend of Jimi Hendrix’ explain why he died, and the only thing I understand from it is that there were good drugs in the ’60s.

There’s two sockets where you can go into. One socket is death and one socket is the socket to live, you know. This is how I always felt. I think they call that a alpha jerk. You can get an alpha jerk.This is when you’ve felt as though.”Oh, wow, I’m goin’ into the wrong hole here. And you really feel funny. You feel like that possibly is the hole to die. And the other side is the side to sleep and get  into your subconscious and sleep, which is what we normally go into I believe that Jimi possibly could’ve went into, got into his alpha-jerk feel and it kind of felt groovy to him because he was high, slightly high, and he said: “Damn, you know, I’m Jimi Hendrix. I wonder if I can die?” You know? And the alpha jerk came on him and he said:”Fuck it, let me try the alpha.”And slipped on out. You know?

  1. I know I just thought it was funny. I’ve read what Eric Burdon had to say about his isolation and drug use. His manager was evil and a lot of black radicals wanted him to be more “black” Jimi just wanted to be in the studio and make music. Sad.

  2. Jimi Hendrix didn’t go into an “alpha jerk” and die, the man was DROWNED by thugs who stuck a funnel in his mouth and poured a LOT OF WINE down this throat. There was wine everywhere on Jimi, on his clothes, in his stomach, etc. with hardly ANY alcohol in his bloodstream. This nonsense spewed by one of the twins (I forget their names) in the 1973 Jimi Hendrix film is just that–nonsense. Speculative nonsense.

  3. Thank you so much for posting this.. I saw the same doc and have thought about it off and on for decades… But are the drugs really good if they kill you!? Nah not really.. I then switched to herbal based experiences exclusively soon after my first acid trip. Never looking back.

  6. Yes, I have felt something similar. It happened to me once or twice,it is a horrible feeling. You know when you are trying to fall asleep you just lay there for awhile. As I tried to fall asleep I really would feel the sleepiness, but different from other times I really felt like this guy explains Jimmy Hendrix’s death, because I felt the sleepiness was much deeper then other times. I felt like if I slept I wouldn’t wake up again and I’m sure of that. It hasn’t happened to me again and I hope it won’t. I guess it’s the opposite of a panic attack, only that in the latter you are awake and it’s worse. That’s my experience.

  8. i just watched that bit of the doc and it really freaked me out because i get that feeling he describes all the time and i’ve been looking on the internet to see what was happening to me but i can’t find anything. you see sometimes, usually when i’m falling asleep, i get a sudden feeling like my brain is switching off (that’s the best way i can describe it) and i have to pull myself out of it and become more awake. i had thought it might just be me noticing myself in the act of falling asleep, as it were. it sort of feels like my head going into a hole, as he describes, or into a vortex or something. anyone know what i’m talking about or experienced anything like it?

  12. its from a documentary called “a film about hendrix”…
