"He has no interest whatsoever in the Army ... It is my opinion that Private Hendrix will never come up to the standards required of a soldier. I feel that the military service will benefit if he is discharged as soon as possible."

Similar discharge notes for Jerry Garcia : )

Interesting. George Carlin also had a similar experience in the Air Force.

Damn another rabbit hole I gotta look into : )

Mildly interesting coincidence: he and Hendrix are the 2 most recent artists I posted demastered edits of live performances by.

Cool! I caught 3 of those Radio City shows - good times!

Since that was before my time I'm thankful they managed to get good recordings 🤙

Cool to see folks still digging the vibes!
