That's cool, thanks for sharing that; I'll have to search around for it. I've heard that Donald Sutherland is kind of a-hole but damn if he isn't a tremendously entertaining actor, and this is easily my favorite of his characters. I assume he really was a bit stoned for these shoots, but he is a great actor, after all, so who knows.

All of my relatives and their friends that served in real-deal combat have all been deeply traumatized from the experience. I think that actually speaks to their humanity, and what is left of it.

One of several photos taken in Hawaii by Ron Raffaelli (1943-2015), who was hired by Hendrix to cover his tour. This shot is listed as being from October 6, 1968, when Hendrix was shot driving the dune buggy with then-girlfriend Kathy Etchingham. One site (formidable mag) pictures quite a few color and black and white shots taken during that period.

A 2011 episode of “Pawn Stars” featured the photographer selling a collection of unpublished photographs of Hendrix, which were purchased by owner Rick Harrison for $15,000.
