The new book, JIMI by Janie Hendrix and John McDermott is out 24th November. I can hardly believe I treated Clapton – a hero of mine – with so little respect.Įric Clapton: It’s something that no one is ever going to beat that incident, that night, it’s historic in my mind but only a few people are alive that would remember it Jimi Hendrix: When I think back, it seems so pushy that I would have barged into someone else’s show that way. ![]() Kathy Etchingham (Jimi’s girlfriend): He walked off stage with this smirk. I said: ‘Are you all right?’ And he replied: ‘Is he that fucking good?’ He had heard ten bars at most. Manager Chas Chandler arranged a showcase gig at The Bag O’ Nails, a trendy Soho watering hole frequented by pop aristocracy such as Paul McCartneyand The Rolling Stones. I thought: “Oh God, what’s happening now?” I went backstage and he was trying to get a match to a cigarette. On Friday 25 November, the hurricane that was Jimi Hendrix finally hit. ![]() Here was this total unknown, using techniques that Clapton had not the faintest inkling of.Ĭhas Chandler (Hendrix’s manager): Clapton stood there and his hands dropped off the guitar. Neil Slaven: I will never forget the look of absolute shock on Clapton’s face. ![]()

![]() ![]() ![]() I'm very curious about Falconer-we got to see a lot more of him in this book, but he still maintains a shroud of mystery. (Drew still felt too perfect, and Nathaniel's near-constant "Ho mate" got on my nerves.) I liked watching him develop as a character, but I have some caveats, which I'll get to later. Trenton was probably the most fleshed out of all of them, and was my favorite. ![]() The characters: Trenton is the main character in this one, though we still see quite a bit of Nathaniel, Drew, Falconer, and a few of the original gang. It was neat that we got to see how they had adjusted to their new lives, instead of them disappearing altogether. (How cool would a crossover between these two series be?) Also, I like how the village for the deposed lords and their families was set up. It brings to mind the Blades of Acktar series, so I was very interested in learning more about that land. The setting: We got to see more of Mizgalia and Dragon Coast (two locations touched on in the first that I was very curious about), but I would have enjoyed a little more information about life in Mizgalia. I'll give you a brief summary of setting, characters, and plot before diving into some critique. But holy cow-that ending! Sager can seriously write battle scenes. Okay, so like the first book, it was a little slow-going until you got into the story. The Bad: Less amazing creatures in this one. ![]() ![]() ![]() It is the ancient drama to which the characters in The Lord of the Rings look back, and in whose events some of them such as Elrond and Galadriel took part. The Silmarillion is the history of the rebellion of Fëanor and his kindred against the gods, their exile from Valinor and return to Middle-earth, and their war, hopeless despite all the heroism, against the great Enemy. But the first Dark Lord, Morgoth, stole the jewels and set them within his iron crown, guarded in the impenetrable fortress of Angband in the north of Middle-earth. The Silmarilli were three perfect jewels, fashioned by Fëanor, most gifted of the Elves, and within them was imprisoned the last Light of the Two Trees of Valinor. Tolkien himself and with the complete text. For the first time ever, a very special edition of the forerunner to The Lord of the Rings, illustrated throughout in colour by J.R.R. ![]() ![]() She founded the Suppressed Histories Archives in 1970, and her ongoing research engages Herstory worldwide, placing women at the forefront where we belong. ![]() ![]() One of these towering and influential figures is Max Dashu, who has spent over 48 years excavating the western canon for evidence of women of power in Old Europe, early medieval history and indigenous societies. Artists, feminists and scholars in Matriarchal Studies, Women's History and Goddess Spirituality began to produce a monumental body of work, and our worldview changed forever. I remember walking through Judy Chicago’s Dinner Party at the Art Gallery of Ontario in 1982 and thinking, why did I not know about my own motherline, or the other incredible accomplish-ments of women throughout time? And I was not the only one! After an initial period of grieving, and facing down the terror of charting new terrain, modern women got to work. ![]() |
