Full article:
Vicky Redding (sister of Hendrix bassist Noel Redding) : Jimi gave me some money to pay the (airport meal) bill, and said 'Give the change to the waitress.' I considered that the waitress wasn't very good and there was about £25 left over, which was a bit much, so I gave her £5. We got on the plane and I gave £20 back to Jimi and he went berserk. He really told me off.
Barry Reiss (attorney, Steingarten, Weeden And Weiss) : I was one of the people who used to go over contracts and explain them to him. He was never handed a piece of paper and told to sign… We would sit down at the table in his hotel room and I would explain it page by page, asking if he understood what he was signing. I remember the first couple of times that I did it, I was very impressed by how bright he was, how aware he was. When we had to talk to him about the PPX case, he was very articulate. He knew exactly what was going down.
