15 JUNE • THURSDAY

Flying from John F. Kennedy International Airport, New York City, to San Francisco International Airport, California.

Barry Jenkins: We (The New Animals) were on the same flight, and I'll never forget seeing Hendrix sitting in his seat with his ear pushed up against the side wall of the plane. I asked him what he was doing and he said, 'I'm getting inspiration for the next album, man.' He was listening to the sounds of the engine vibrating inside the walls. [JB]
