The Hendrix House of Trash

if it was anormal everyday person they wouldnt of wrote up all the hype on it,the only reason they care,because it was attached to ahendrix,they just wanting a pawn i guess
there just looking to cash in on the hendrix name,nothing more orless,to bad they cant be respectful atleast.theres a slander lawsuit if you need to go that far,push comes to shove
damn shame, the media,ive always respected the hendrix name,because jimi was my idol,period!

This is just sad.

Crappy... Pure Crap to print.Clean the house - fix the house and sell it for more!

Im from Chicago and have been working with Leon for the last 7 years... i play in the Leon Hendrix Mysterience band. All day we've had people calling up and amazed at the NO LOVE factor when it comes to Leon or ANY of the blood family members. Janie, Leon's adopted little sister met Jimi 3 times between the ages of 6-9 years old and run's his legacy in Seattle earning MAJOR PROFITS from Jimi's creative residuals. If Leon wouldve been part of the family benefits this wouldve never happened. EXCESSIVE COURT COSTS to fight for his ENTIRE WING OF BLOOD HENDRIX FAMILY MEMBERS WALLED OUT. Jimi's Aunt would really appreciate it if Janie enabled her to live above reduced conditions and afford all her health care.

THIS ARTICLE IS TYPICAL IN A CITY WHERE A MUSEUM IS IN THE CENTER OF TOWN MADE FOR JIMI IN ESSENCE, YET THE FAMILY OUTSIDE OF IT ALL SUFFERS. Janie had a gaggle of lawyers and a bond with Al Hendrix that the freewheeling Leon didnt. She made absolutely certain that Leon was not coming to the table politicing anything with his long standing issues.
The guy has been through a lot you could say and these days is the most mellow, reflective sincere person. Selling this house is just a business move to be able to handle all thats come of it all. You woulndt just have a house sitting around with all sorts of stuff in it but he does. He isnt dealing with the schedule of an average Joe. One day for you in his shoes still woulndt be enough for you to get it.

God Bless Leon, his six children and the blood family that helped raise Jimi.. they should be WELCOME TO WHATS GOING ON BUT JANIE DOESNT PLAY NICE.

When I say above, for the record...that Janie had a bunch of lawyers and a bond with Al Hendrix that Leon didnt, make no mistake about it, Leon and his Father loved each other.

That bond was one less dependant on the fact of identity. Leon has never had to worry about validation as a Hendrix because he GREW UP WITH JIMI as his younger little brother closely watched after, not Janie who came along when JIMI WAS IN ENGLAND!!!!!!! Janie has had to worry personally about the annoyance of hearing her whole life, "she's not Jimi's sister, she's white".

READ CHARLEY CROSS book ROOM FULL OF MIRRORS, or SHARON LAWRENCE's "Jimi Hendrix: THE MAN, THE MAGIC, THE TRUTH".

The reality of it is, after you read this newspaper, where does it always end up? Isn't that where trash belongs?

I am listenig now to my piano composition called ''Dear Jimi'' as i write this review.Dear Jimi is on my new CD which unlike CD # 2 was mostly rock/metal compositions newCD is all Acustic Piano.Dear Jimi of course is my piece for Jimi Hendrix.''Love in light''Thats how Billy Cox ended a letter to me 12 years ago and a X-Mas card 8 years ago.What Cherokee Sue (my wife) and myself don't understand, is,how can someone proclaiming to be christian not do the right things, for all innvolved.Leon is not a dog, and i for one am sick of people kicking him like one.I to was kicked like a dog ijin the streets of chicago and by crap i put up with, with many peoples from my family ring. As a leo i have taken full control with a little help from my wife and 100% all glory to Jesus Christ, Lord Our Savior, King of the Universe.I know leon and his band and crew and What i know mostly of Leon, Issac, Neil, and Marcus, is that they are a great band with totally awesome compositions and songs that i can hear over, and over, and over again.Leons music is like that, and his band is a powerful force to recon with.Sue and i have been to 2 rehersals in their studio, in 1999, and 2000.I knew Al 28 years until he went to meet Jimi, and know Leon 7 years or so.I am not one to say this as a fact, but from what i understand(and we understand more than the average bear) that Al hendrix's origional wil was manipulated and changed from Leon and his kids getting 27% of experience hendrix,, to nothing, in court when the judge said Leon gets diddly squat, the look on (her face..I won't even mention or type the name) was as ''unchristian''as anyone can be.She balled like a baby, or like a greedy person who only cares about herself and her own family.I was in court with Sue the day she was on the stand.I won't even go into how much money she spent on many peoplle to travel, and most of all the tons of money on many trips to the beauty shops....My point is, none of this would have happened if the right thing was done.If it was Sue and i who ran the company this is what we would have done with some of that $80.000.000, and i (WE kid you not) would have bought leon a house and made sure he had a big house for his family.2ndly, this house for sale of Leons, i would have put $100.000 in it and sold it or just have given it to Leon as well for more of his family.Hey, Issac could have run it or???You all get my point.I am talking from my (our hearts) life is short y'all and if we cant help others and be good to ourselves so we can love others whats it all about.To end this feedback, i come from a family of lots of doctors on my mom's side of family and there are millions of dollors in many parts of my family.I know the money would be nice to have but i know their happiness is no greater.Leon deserves to be respected, his concert will be dynamite.I know the songs and they rock and are blusey and powerful.Rock on leon hendrix band.Arthur AKA zepkid1 and cherokee sue!!!See you soon..

Take heed folks, steffen issac knows what he's saying and so do i and all who know Leon personally.I wanted to add that janie does not play fair as mentioned.Wife and i went through our own hell with her as far back as 1999 when she diden't want to give me a lousy $50.00 ''goodie bag'' consisting of tea-shirt, and 2 posters and some other items for me being a semi-finalist in the 1999 Jimi hendrix guitar compition. I couldn't make that $2.000 flight to New Orleans for the city i picked to play, and all contestants received this goodie bag.Al loved my wife as a daughter believe me, and talked on the phone with her a lot.In person in 99 ans 2000 and on phone Al hendrix expressed his love for Leon and talked about him.Al was brainwashed in my oppinion.As Steffen says (SHE AHHHUUUMMMM!!!)only saw Jimi 3 times as a todler.Raw deal altogether..tsskkk tskkk tssssk. I have been writting a book called ''Our friend Al hendrix''! There will be 4 chapters.I was there 4 times, each year will be a chapter. 1979,1994, 1999, and 2000.The book is about Sue's and my friendship with Al, the 18 x-mas cards i have from 1980 on up, about what a very warm, and gentle wonderfull man he was and always excited when i arrived to his home.When i brought my wife he smiled so big his face almost froze.He really loved her to pieces. The next part of the book will have about 50 or more pictures i took from 94, 99, and 2000 in his home that he let me snap any pictures i wanted.Jimi's bass, fender amp head, organ used on electric ladyland(which i played ''dear jimi '' on it for Al.Even Al tinkered with the keys while singing ''when i was a little boy'' wife and i will never forget that.There are great pictures of Jimi with his girlfriend, paintings, etc.most of all, in 94 the lp's on the wall were still gold, and when we went back in 99 they were platinium.Were am i going with this? If the book sells well, which i am going full steam to get it published by ''Exlibris'' a publisher who published my fathers book of poems.Proceeds will go to Leon and thats how i feel about it.If we make a bundle from this book that will interest people world wide (especially the pictures) leon could get a nice chunk.Thats how i feel as a christian. She probably couldn't and wouldn't buy leon a Steak dinner if he asked( not that he would just a point)Peace to all and Happy Birthday Jimi. Leon hendrix will kick it on the 24th.

Seattle weekly, You guys are nothing more than a shameless gossip rag!

Okay - since all of Leon's “new” friends have piped in - let me tell you the real story from someone who has known Leon longer than 7 years.

Let me preface this by saying that I am a recovering crackhead. I am not proud of my past but I cannot escape it.

Leon is a pimp and a crackhead...or maybe I should say he used to be pimp and crackhead because I quit associating with him quite a long time ago. Even if he has stopped smoking, he is a loathsome individual through and through. He destroyed himself, his family, and his home.

I know what the home looked like 10 years ago, and I can tell you that the only thing it is good for is to be razed. It is what we commonly refer to as a “crackhouse”. It was so bad 10 years ago that I wouldn’t even smoke crack in it!

I went there once with Leon to meet his son Alex who Leon had turned into a drug dealer. Alex lived in the garage because he wouldn’t go into the house. I always liked Alex, but Leon taught him (and apparently the rest of kids) all the wrong things. If you really want to know more about Leon look up Alex who is now incarcerated in the Washington State Prison system.

There’s a real good reason why Leon didn’t get a good portion of Jimi’s money that he won’t tell you. Allow me. After Al won the rights to Jimi's music (and in turn a substantial settlement), Al did what any father who loves his son would do, and what he had been trying to do for years. He let Leon know that his portion would be there if he got off the crack. Unfortunately, he also started giving him a small stipend (like $1500 or $2500 a month). Leon didn’t get clean. He was at first lovingly encouraged and then sternly warned that he would be cut off from any inheritance unless he got clean. Leon didn’t get clean. He then ended up signing a document releasing all interest in the estate for a sum of money that he immediately smoked. That’s why he lost his court battles. It has nothing to do with Janie – it was his father’s wishes.

I saw him a few years back at an event and asked him if he was still smoking. He claimed he was not but asked if I had any. He was drinking heavily. Anyone who knows anything about sobriety knows that if you quit – you quit all drugs – lest you wind up back where you started. So even if he doesn’t smoke crack – if he’s drinking, he’ll be back smoking before too long.

Leon has spent the last x-amount of years trying to live off of his brother’s name and that shows his loathsome character. Leon sucks as a bass player. Badly. He is not a musician. He is however a very talented artist if he would simply apply himself to producing stuff on canvas. With that he could absolutely capitalize on his name selling his original artwork. He has been encouraged to pursue this and has rebuffed all his friends help t pursue a further ripping off of Jimi’s name using Vodka and other items for sale.

His house is a good representation of his ruined life – I encourage all of you to take a look.

PS – posts here keep the poster’s email anonymous, but I stand behind my statements, and the Weekly can contact me if they desire to confirm my statements.

TOTAL BULLSHIT......
HENDRIX WAS UNDENIABLY THE MOST INFLUENCIAL ARTIST OF OUR TIME AND THIS IS HOW HE IS TREATED......

HE SERVED OUR COUNTRY.
HE WAS HUMAN(SUPERHUMAN)
THAT'S OK BECAUSE HIS TORCH IS CARRIED ON BY THE "WILL OF GOD AND THE GRACE OF THE KING"

This story is insane.

Hilarious you write in not using your own name.

As for knowing Leon longer than 7 years... yea, big deal... those WERE his lost years. You were a "crack head" and knew other "crack heads". You might not be smoking it, but your head is still up it writing like your current on anything other than shitty assumptions where the mans life is going to.
You make me sick. Im sorry youve never had people loving you long enough for you to understand thats EXACTLY what this band is doing and what those close to him on a daily basis are doing. You writing in to "agree with the nature" of the article is sh**. You dont know any more about whats going on with Leon than what composes stars by just looking at them.

FLAT OUT, i see Leon every day at the house, ive rented the downstairs of his ladys house for 3+ years and work currently in the band which is why im revisiting this article. I KNOW whats gone on and you DONT. You are full of fertilizer assistant.

The P.I. can contact me to verify blah blah blah blah.. go gag yourself.
