I must have seen it 20 or 30 times as I was a Hendrix fan and it was on some VHS copy of a documentary on Hendrix I had at the time.  In theory it&amp;#x27;s an incoherent mix of religiosity, homosexuality, flamboyance and almost narcissistic self-regard but for some reason on some level, it all seems to make perfect sense.  I&amp;#x27;ve just watched it again - having not seen it for 20+ years and I&amp;#x27;m still smiling as I&amp;#x27;m typing this.</text></comment>
