:44:01
We went to lots of gigs.
:44:04
It was the beginning of the rock affluence
that was shared.
:44:09
The money began to move
into other areas.
:44:12
It wasn't just the stars
who were spending the money.
:44:15
We were all spending the money.
:44:17
He spent his money. He spent his money...
:44:21
... as carelessly as anybody's
supposed to spend it.
:44:24
Murray the K had a radio show then,
and he said, "I'm gonna play...
:44:28
...the new Jimi Hendrix album."
:44:30
And he played it.
We heard this guitar player...
:44:33
... who was doing everything
that was possible.
:44:36
I mean, it was just amazing.
:44:37
I always figured he would make it.
I always figured that, well...
:44:41
... maybe he'd be playin' cabarets
here and there.
:44:45
But I didn't know he gonna make it
so world-wide like he did.
:44:50
This child ain't did nothin' that great,
you know what I mean?
:44:53
He said, "No, they really dig me.
And I got this really nice album."
:44:57
"I got two cats that play with me
and everything."
:45:00
And he said,
"And I brought you something, too."
:45:02
I said, "Bring it when you bring the album."
:45:04
I'm thinkin' he's brought me
some fabulous present back from London.
:45:08
"Jimi, please tell me what it is."
And he said:
:45:12
"Acid... some acid." You know?
And I said, "Acid?"
:45:16
I had no idea what he meant.
:45:18
I thought maybe he had a cauldron of acid
or somethin' and he was gonna drop me in.
:45:23
He looked over to Arthur
and Arthur said, "LSD".
:45:27
You know, and I said, "Oh, LSD".
:45:29
I was tryin' not to sound too disappointed,
you know.
:45:33
So he popped a couple of 'em right away.
:45:35
So I said, "Well, damn! Little as Jimi is,
if he can take it, I know I can take it."
:45:39
So, I popped a half and Fay popped a half.
He said, "Here, try a half first."
:45:44
I waited for somethin' to come on.
:45:47
I didn't feel it so I said,
"Give me another half."
:45:49
He popped two, you know.
So we wind up gettin' stoned...
:45:53
...'bout after 30 minutes,
half an hour of me complainin' about...
:45:57
..."Where's the high? Where's the high?"
:45:59
About half an hour later we wind up
gettin' tore up, man!
