“Jimi came in and said to Clapton, ‘well over a million times walking through London, ... I look at girls ... you fall in love a thousand times a day’. The reporter said, ‘this is an immediate hang-up’. To which Jimi said, ‘There’s no pain in falling in love for a second or even three minutes ... it’s so good to indulge the beauty of a girl you’ve never seen before.’ Someone asks him ‘What happens when you meet them?’ Jimi responds: ‘I’m not talking about meeting them, I’m talking about seeing them.’”
Jimi was trippin’ balls when he said this. Does this make it any-the-less interesting? And why are there so many euphemisms for intoxication?
