But you WILL find codename/nicknames for Jagger the Junkie's tunes.
1. Brown Sugar - is one for heroin..the method is to snort/sniff.
2. Jumpin'(Jack Flash) - "Jack Flash" is also codename for heroin
and as many have observed about "American Pie" artist Don McClean*
that the lyric ".. .Jack Flash... sat on a candlestick.." directly refers
to a method of "cooking" heroin in spoon by flame of a lit candle.
3. Dead Flowers - tho not a codename for heroin
is a song with a lyric making direct reference to the 'Jack Flash" method.
it goes.: "..I'll be in my basement room. .with a needle and a spoon.."
NOWHERE will anyone find a single IOTA of reference to heroin
in either the name "Little Wing'.. nor the Experience's song. Zero. 0.汉
There's probably a dozen Stones songs that do advertize smack
but i really can't recall Jimi ever writing anything that blatently
pinpoints heroin specifically in even a single one of his pieces.
Someone show me otherwise if they can.. like to see that.?
One last thing??.. maybe somebody can explain why it is that
it always seems.??? --that it's primarily British rockers that
screw it all up pushing the needle in.??.. I don't see that many
American artists ..Canadians either -- anywhere else that so frequently

Reed & Iggy were junkies that dismantled the concept of talented musicians.

One reference that may be to heroin is in "Crash Landing":
Hey
Look at ya,
all lovey-dovey when you're messing around with that needle
I wonder how would your love be otherwise
I wonder just how ?
I'm gonna break your hands and throw away your stupid needle.
I'm gonna try and make love straight for the very first and last
time.
Later on the lyric is:
Bang bang. Shoot shoot.
As long as you're [?] I won't give a hoot.
Bang bang. Shoot shoot shoot.
As long as you're [?]
I don't give a hoot
Bang bang. Shoot shoot.
And he may be referring to "shooting-up" there. Maybe not.

Good show!! O-B-Wan ,; ?j ..
..you've definitely found a specific to spoon - tho not heroin or codename.
But that's half a qualifer for heroin in my eyes? Shooting junk, right.
However,,.
isn't it interesting that as opposed to any of "junkie Jagger's" tunes
which all show *Mick shooting/snorting/cooking/injesting King(heroin)*
that in Jimi's song.. not only is Jimi himself a "non-participant"..
it clearly shows that Jimi firmly condemed it(quote)".. stupid needle..".
And tho it's unclear exactly WHO??--the babe is in "Crash Landing.."
You've reminded me that there IS another song that *appears interconnected*
that i have nearly forgotten about - which ALSO cites *Junkie Jagger/Dagger*
and thus.!------- the woman in question in BOTH songs would HAVE to be
none other than *"Dolly Dagger" herself --- Devon Wilson*
Same line in"FREEDOM"(quote)"..I'm just trying to slap it outta her hand!!"
[also pay notice to the'Dagger'reference and"if you just want to BLEED me"
it's a direct reference to "Can't Always Get What You Want"-'BLEEDING Man'

Who cares what dope they do. They are doing it.
If it is Heroin or cough syrup it is still dope. Hendrix was getting
as high as anyone did in those days.
I don't like drugs. They screw folks up.

The entire phrase.."..Jack Flash sat on a candlestick.."stands for *heroin*.

You're wrong about that - LOTS of people CARE
the best of whom CARE because they WORRY about
idiots that DO ABSOLUTELY ADDICTIVE KILLER SHIT - a,k,a *Heroin*
> If it is Heroin or cough syrup it is still dope.
Wrong!- tho you can ad your "codeine" cough syrup as certainly
a shitty 'addictive DOWNER' and a genuine "gateway to smack"
Heroin..... is NOT EVER!! --to be put in the same sentence..let alone
in the same classification that might apply to any other drug. N E V E R !!!
Don't try to tell anyone that LSD or GRASS carry ANY of it's similarities.
Microwave your cup FOOL--smell the caffeine-wake up! ..HAA!!!

Not on Heroin he wasn't -- not with FULL BLOWN -SWEAT SHAKEN
addictions that Mick the Dick assuredly aquired -- Mmm-Hmm.!!
*Jagger is the Junkie* -- not Jimi Hendrix -- and for that S,O,B, to
exhinit the inmitigated GALL!! -- to openly contrive such insidious lies
about someone that passed him as a contemporary and showed him
as Jimi remarked to Junkie Jagger in "Cant Always Get.." that the Stones
and his music -- was *D E A D*...obsolete as "yesterdays papers".
And it's Mick's vain pride that had the melt down from the inset
that was the beginning of something RELEVANT.."The Jimi Hendrix Experience"

But that's not what i do.
Whereas,... a couple lurkers and members..have made queeries
to the extent that somewhere??? - they've gotten the notion
that Jimi was a "..f*ckin heroin junkie -- just like Junkie Jagger.."
This is the type of trash-talk.. that SHOULD be addressed

Whether it's 'pmaden' bringing it to the fore...or the'Darren bloke'
making uniformed..somewhat cocky??..uhuh.. sweeping reply

I'll be completely justified to point out thats a crock of bull
because if that was TRULY the case.??-- then it's plain-as-day
that *Junkie(once a junkie~always a junkie)Mick"Jack Flash" Jagger*
would NEVER have urped those asinine accusations
and ROLLING STONE 'ZINE(duhH!??)--- would never had INTEREST..!
But they SURE DID --din't they!!!.. yup.!.
So it's a much needed point to show exactly where and why

"Dr Geoffrey Wills, a psychologist from Stockport, Greater Manchester,
looked at the biographies of 40 world-renowned musicians.
He found that those he studied appeared eight times more likely to
have suffered from drug dependency.
Dr Wills also found that mood disorders appeared to be four times more
likely among this group of jazz greats.
The psychologist said that he was not trying to imply that all jazz
musicians had such problems, but that they shared the same
vulnerability to mental health problems as other creative types such
as writers and artists. "
Shit happens.
> You will not find any connection between Heroin &"Little Wing".
Agreed! Although there are rumours that Jimi liked to snort Heroin a
certain amount of time into acid trips abound. I met someone who said
they knew the dealer that sold snorting heroin ( there are different
packages, mainly 3, 1 for snort, 1 for smoke and another for injection )
to Jimi at Woodstock, but that's as close as to a relaible source as I've
gotten. However that said, there is no evidence whatsoever that Jimi used
needles ever and it is doubtful he ever had a habit.

Aww. Why do you resort to so much confrontational and in this case
collectivist generalizations? The British brought the Blues to mainstream
awareness in America and for that we will always be indebted. Sure many of
us were already there, but Muddy and Chuck and all the rest would never
have gotten near their due, either monetarily or simple recognition, had
it not been for Brits. No society has a monopoly on addicts, but creative
types are many more times likely to indulge in mind altering substances
and many, especially those who have come up hard or been abused or
traumatized are much more vulnerable to addiction. Stephen Tyler pointed
out that for awhile he blamed his addiction on Charlie Parker, Miles
Davis, Lady Day Billy Holiday and many other jazz greats but then realized
that it was he who surmised that junk was a pathway, since he disregarded
Dizzy Gillespie who never did it and Ray Charles who put it down with
apparently no side effects on his performance whatsoever, to mention a
few. So it is simply unfair to conveniently remember users and non-users
from different geographic localities or even governments since if a cat
wants it bad enough he's gonna get it.
I thnk Darren's point is that it depends on your point of view as to
whether what a person uses is important or not. Some people think all
drugs, even caffeine and chocolate are without any redeeming value. If
you've watched Clint Eastwood's excellent bio-pic, "Byrd", he makes a good
case for "to each his own". Charlie Parker was in intractable pain and
nobody can say whether or not he could have lived as long and done as much
as he did either way, with or without heroin. It's not simple in many
cases and there's little use in "splitting hairs". It is possible for a
person to progress down a path and at each milestone condemn any further
travel, until he gets there, and again moves the marker. Or he can just
walk where he will and let everyone else do the same. Neither is perfect.

Ahghh so that explains why at the end of the movie "AFAJH" they mentioned
there was no evidence of addiction. That is stretching it since one can
catch a nasty "chasing the dragon" or even simple snorting, but there is
little or no evidence of that either. It's not like he holed up
interminably like John Lennon did. It's nice to know that Jimi made his
own way and didn't fold to yet another possible pressure of how some
people may have thought he had to be to be cool/serious/hip/transcendant
etc etc etc. Right on!
Jimmy
In "Freedom", Jimi says, "You know you hooked my girlfriend, you know the
drugstore man. No, I don't need it now, I'm just tryin' to smack it out of
her hand."
When he says, "No, I don't need it now", was he referring to his lack of
personal need for it, or was he staving off one of Devon's dealers? I don't
know, so I won't say.
In "Crash Landing", he's even more direct. If I may digress, I hope EH
someday officially releases the version with the organ. Very funky, and IMO
superior to the AD release. Anyway, he says, "I'm going to smack your hand
and throw away your stupid needle." Did he object to the delivery system or
did he object to that which was delivered via the needle? Sadly, Devon
forfeited her ability to speak by taking a dive from a tall building and
developing fast intimacy with concrete. And a luscious babe was she. Damn.
But just to close the loop, Jagger also considered Devon to be *his*
girlfriend. She just kind of toggled between Jimi and Mick.
