: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?

:47:00
Oh, I try to get up everyday.
:47:05
It was impossible to get any work done
because of the hangers-on.

:47:10
He could never refuse anybody.
:47:15
He had people hangin'
in the control rooms...

:47:17
He had plenty of women.
:47:19
As he got up into stardom, you know,
he really moved up...

:47:23
...in his money, and in his women,
of course.

:47:26
Because one follows the other.
:47:32
Sorry 'bout that girls, but...
:47:35
If I get up at 7:00 in the morning...
:47:37
...and I'm really sleepy, but then I open
the door and see somebody...

:47:41
...that appeals to me, you know...
:47:45
First I say, "What in the world
is she doin' here?"

:47:48
Or, "What does she want?"
:47:50
I stand there, she says,
"Oh, maybe, could I come in?"

:47:53
And I'm standin' there
and really diggin' her.

:47:55
She's really nice lookin'.
It's the honest-to-God truth.

:47:58
And she's about 19, 20,
or beyond the age of so and so.
