Historical background

Jimi Hendrix is a Seattle native, which explains why the locals honored him in this manner. His mainstream career lasted only four years, but he is widely regarded as one of the most influential guitarists in history and one of the most celebrated musicians of the 20th century. The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame describes him as "the greatest instrumentalist in the history of rock music". The statue at Broadway was unveiled in January 1997 in a veil of "purple haze" (colored smoke). There’s also a Jimi Hendrix Park in Seattle which, strangely, is not located near the statue. There's been talk for years of moving the statue over there, but so far it has remained in its original home.
