The secret science fiction inspiration behind Jimi Hendrix's music
Excerpt from above link:
Night of Light was a science fiction book that in 1966 inspired
Jimi to eventually write 'Purple Haze.' Farmer's story had to do with
sunspots having a disorienting effect on a distant planet's population.
Jimi wrote pages and pages of lyrics for 'Purple Haze,' originally an
epic tale of the history of warfare for the control of the planet
Neptune.
