Jimi Hendrix References

[James Marshall]

Me, I am a huge Jimi Hendrix fan. So these two Jimi Hendrix references (possibly three which i'll discuss later) ring me into the LG15 series even more.

Well the first two references are clear. Jonas pointed out that he doesn't want Daniel to "die like Hendrix did." And he was also wearing a Jimi Hendrix shirt in the past episode.

But a third reference could be the name of the latest video, “Storm The Castle”. Jimi Hendrix wrote a song called "Spanish Castle Magic" which is about how he and his former bass player (before he became a star) always drove to a club and they had a bunch of bumps along the road because he had this old, beater car. But he also adds in bringing 'a girl' to this place which is a 'really groovy place'.

"Hang on my darling
Hang on if you wanna go
Here its a really groovy place"
are the lyrics in that part of the song.

It's possible, that the actor of Jonas just thought it'd be cool to throw in some Hendrix's references. But at the sime time it could be the producers throwing in a clue to what might happen later in the show.

Could Bree overdose purposly or by accident? Or will somebody else? Will Jonas steer Bree into another direction (like he's trying to now)? Is Daniel steering Bree in a different direction (or is the order controlling Daniel)?

I know, it's probably insignificant to the plot, but I wanted to throw this out there anyways.

maybe bree will light that guitar they have on fire

lol, maybe.

Or maybe she'll go to Woodstock and play an epic performance of the Star Spangled Banner. Haha.

That's a possibility, perhaps. But I think "storm the castle" is a fairly common phrase too.

James,

That's a very interesting new take! I've heard a lot about the movie references in LG15 but don't recall reading about more than one Hendrix reference. That's great that you can provide a fresh perspective.

Thanks for joining the Forum and spawning such a new conversation!

when have we heard jonas play guitar?

[cosmicdancer]

Jimi Hendrix was kidnapped, Daniels been kidnapped.
I dunno.

[autumneternal]

when have we heard jonas play guitar?

In "Foosball Battle."

It was in "Foosball Battle," toward the end.

It is. It's a very common idiom, and has been used for a lot of purposes (it's the name of a show, a band, and an episode of Arrested Development, I think).

Oh, no doubt it is.

[bollenbach]

yeah... I remember when jonas played guitar... he's not the greatest at it but hey.. he still plays.

It's really amazing how deep this show has gone

[girlAnachronism]

V. interesting. I like this theory a lot. I could definitely see Jonas trying to drive Bree in a different direction. (When was Jimi Hendrix kidnapped? I was born in the late 80's so I'm not up on all this stuff...)

I think the Jimi Hendrix is to give us some info on Jonas, just random things so we get to know his personality. Like 'hey, Jonas is a Jimi Hendrix fan, cool'
