"Got
weed on the ton
I'm bangin with my hand up her dress
like, unh
I'll make her
cum,
purple haze in my lungs"-THE GAME (f/ 50 Cent) LYRICS This Is How We Do
"
Purple haze all in my eyes
Don't know if it's day or night
You got me blowin', blowin' my mind
Is it tomorrow, or just the end of time?" - Jimi Hendrix Lyrics
Purple Haze
"Are You Experienced, one time I just heard that recently, I must have been high or something. Yeah, when I heard it, it was
like,
um, I said, 'Damn! I wonder where my head was at, when I said all those things,' you know. But I don't consider that more invention of psychedelic, 'cause it's asking a lot of questions. I said, 'Damn! Wait a minute, I feel ... you know, 'scuse me while I do this,' for a second maybe, it could be stuff like goin' in different strange areas and all this, like most curious
people do. And I just happened to put it on "
Purple Haze." But the way I write things, I just write them in, with a clash between reality and fantasy mostly... ALTHAM: Well, I think psychedelic to most
people has connotations with LSD.
HENDRIX: Oh, you mean strictly LSD? You mean with that type of consciousness?
ALTHAM: Yeah, with dreams...
HENDRIX: Oh right! Oh yeah, well you have to give them a little bit of it to dream on, because so they can hear it over again, 'cause they might be in a different mood. Well, dreams come from different moods. So it's nothin' but moody... you know laughs." -Keith Altham Interview with Jimi Hendrix 1970
