@dolphinstreet he wore this specific medallion(?) a lot, I can't quite figure out what it is. It looks like... a sun? Something Aztec-y, maybe? Voodoo Child...? shouldn't there be a fan site or something scrutinizing every little detail? I can't be the first person curious about this https://t.co/ohhdEbAYgq

@dolphinstreet Dylan again “Dylan really turned me on,” Hendrix said in March 1968. “Not the words or his guitar, but as a way to get myself together.” They only met once, fleetingly https://t.co/tTzwbWqfAu https://t.co/itaBV5qU57
