Jimi Hendrix

Jimi Hendrix, Toronto, 1969 Handwritten on the board: Metro Toronto, May 3/69. Customs officers at Toronto's airport found small amounts of heroin and hashish in his luggage as he arrived for a concert. At his trial that December he testified that a fan must have slipped the drugs into his bag, and the jury acquitted him on both charges. He called the verdict the best Christmas present Canada could have given him.
