: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!
:46:02
I knew Jimi could take more
of anything than we could...
:46:06
...because he was already abnormal.
So whatever he took...
:46:09
...brought him back to normal. Then
he gotta start from there, understand?
:46:14
So, we knew if he could take a gallon...
:46:18
...we'd better take a pint, right?
:46:20
He was always into gettin' high.
He was a little bit scared of drugs.
:46:26
He distrusted dealers.
:46:27
He distrusted taking it from anybody
he didn't know.
:46:34
I'd always check it out for him...
:46:36
...in front of him, so he would be confident
that he wasn't...
:46:40
...gonna get a bum trip and things.
:46:42
He just loved to get high.
It was all part of the whole scene.
:46:46
Like he played 24 hours a day.
I mean, he was always playin'.
:46:49
You always knew when Hendrix was
in town.
:46:52
He was jamming here,
he was jamming there...
:46:54
But he was always playin'.
:46:56
Do you consider yourself a disciplined guy?
Do you get up everyday and work?
