Today, I been anticipating talking about the Titan Comics Sci-Fi Graphic Novel inspired by the life of Jimi Hendrix-Purple Haze. My Guest DJ Ben Ha Meen, show writer for American Gods as well as Co-Host of one of my favorite podcast For All Nerds with Tatiana King. Ben partners in writing this project with Mellow Brown another masterful writer authoring the Blade runner series for Titan Comics. Ben and Mellow detail moments in Jimi's life that you know and some you want to grow to learn typically why the book is depicted as a space opera due to Jimi's love of Pulp Space Novels. With the assist and approval of Jimi's sister Janie Hendrix, Ben weaves us through the story of Jimi's forming of the Band of Gypsies, his opposition of the war, the bridges he created not only in hip hop but all music. We speak on the writers use of Gimmicks in popular artists especially when their music has a message. Overall, you see an exploration of a Black musician who changed the boundaries of Music in all genres.
