Morrison was a Republican from Florida. Hendrix was also a Republican who volunteered for Vietnam - where Jimi served as a paratropper with several confirmed kills.
Both changed their ways thru LSD. Morisson soon was against ALL conformity. Hendrix shifted from 'Nam vet to peace loving hippie. Near the end of his life there were signs that Jimi was gonna support the Black panther party - probably didn't sit well with CIA and FBI. The government had files on Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin and Jim Morrison. Odd how they all died about a year apart...
