Stephen Stills: “That’s total BS. He kicked me in the butt one night – I was playing rhythm with my eyes closed, and he said, ‘Go on. Play lead!’ Jimi and I got together as much as we could. I always thought a good blues (rhythm) section that would take time to learn Jimi’s vamps and stuff would have really just set him free. God knows what he was hearing. I really didn’t hit my stride, though, until after he died. If he was still around, we’d be inseparable by now.
