New information about one of the best musicians the world has ever seen was released yesterday. James Marshall Hendrix, better known as Jimi, escaped military service by pretending he was gay. He told military psychiatrists he was fantasizing about bunk mates and was in love with one of them. He was discharged in 1962 at the age of 19 from Fort Campbell, Kentucky. This new information was discovered by Charles Cross, Hendrix biographer, by uncovering medical records. The records show how Jimi was able to exploit the military's suspicions about his unconventional style to get discharged. Before this observation, people had believed Hendrix's story of breaking his ankle in a parachute jump (he was a paratrooper.)
