Of course.

In bodycam footage, Marcus can be heard telling the arresting officers, I'm Marcus Jordan, I'm Michael Jordan's son.

Speaker 4

I'm not doing anything wrong. That's what he led.

Speaker 1

Off with cops. Love that, love love that.

After things went south and he was arrested, he then made some requests, including for specific music. Can't you play some holiday music or some blank play? Some Mariah carry up in this blank while requesting holiday music in February is not a crime.

Speaker 4

He was charged with DUI and property.

Speaker 2

Damaged, possession of cocaine, and resisting an officer without violent But.

Speaker 1

His dad's proud. Oh man, he's gonna be probably the Suns in his late thirties.

Speaker 4

I would think so.

Speaker 1

I don't think so.

Speaker 3

But for some rapper in Kentucky that got pulled over by the state troopers, Yeah, they kept yelling what his name is? I forgot what it was. Like you know his nickname.

Speaker 1

Well, he is kind of funny. He was requesting music. Well, long as I'm going in, Well as I'm going in, can I hear some some good cool carry up in his blank His dad is obviously the most famous living athlete in the world. He's got a billion dollars yeah, and a whole bunch of businesses that his kid could probably run. But apparently he's not no headline.

Speaker 2

You too can wear a castle on your head like Jaden Smith.

Speaker 1

You're so ridiculous.

Speaker 4

Want to look just like you belong on the red carpet.

Speaker 2

You can go the Jaden Smith route for a reasonable price. The musician showed up at the Grammy Sunday Night sporting a black castle on his head, which confused a lot of people but stood out. If that look appealed to you and you want to make it your own, good news, you can get your own castle hat for four thousand, six hundred dollars. Gosh, the company responsible, Abode Transylvania, said

on Instagram. The artistic combines the mysterious elegance of Abode Transylvania with a bold, modern design inspired by Transylvanian history and the vampire Legends of the Bathoi poor kid, go to Abode's website if you really want this.

Speaker 3

That's what stupid saw him with a castle on his Head's poor kid?

Speaker 1

Least is so insecure.

Speaker 3

My friend Ashley Braden made a comment on that and said, celebrities they're just like you and a.

Speaker 1

I think your comment originally is accurate. You're like, he thinks he's thinking he's going to be the talk of the Grammy. Kanye's wife shows up completely nude on the carpet, uh and stole all the thunder and you can see his face looks like that too, because he's kind of like in the he's disappointed, his little face in the in the front door of the castle, of the castle where the drawbridge could be.

Speaker 3

So how pissed off would you be if you finally get to go to the Grammys and you pay thirty five hundred whatever the damn ticket is, and you've got a great view of the stage and then some there's somebody sits down with a castle on their head in front of you.

Speaker 1

There's no way. Plus, I think that they do tables up front and then seats in the back, so celebrities probably sit at a table not in the stands. Not in the stands.

Speaker 2

Even still yeah, headline The Goonies cast reunites as Ka Huet Kwan is honored at TCL Chinese Theater.

Speaker 3

Kwan is an Academy Award winning actor for his role in twenty twenty twos Everything Everywhere, All at Once, but he says he'd be thrilled to be

a Gooney once again. I love that movie so much. It's one of the greatest adventures of my life. I would be so happy to revisit that character and of course go on another Goony's adventure with my fellow Goonians.

Speaker 3

Jimmy Hendricks Redhouse News Radio eight forty WHS, for over three decades, as my Next Guest, has helped serve as catalog director for Jimmy Hendrix's family Company experienced Jimmy Hendrix else I wandering bringing him in right now. John McDermott, Hey John, how you doing man? I'm doing fine, Matt.

Speaker 6

Thank you for having me.

Speaker 3

Well, thanks for coming on. I wanted John because there's a lot of things Hendrix going on right now. And let me tell you, I love Jimmy Hendrix and I find it fascinating that he's been gone out. He left us fifty years ago at age twenty seven, but here fifty years later, a twenty seven year old has basically influenced every rock musician out there, and we're still celebrating the man and his music every single year thanks to

folks like you. I find it fascinating he made that much of an impression and we only had him twenty seven years. What are your thoughts on that, John.

Speaker 6

Well, I think you hit it right of the head. I mean, he packed a lot of living into a four year career. You think about it from nineteen sixty sixty seventy, and you know there's something about Jimmy Hendrick. He didn't give a lot of interviews. He was a quiet guy. He was really the antithesis of what you saw on stage. You know, didn't chase celebrity. He really wasn't that guy. So there's this air of mystery about him.

And I also think we're lucky that he didn't really come to popularity during you know, the video MTV E because you know, then at that point, a video defines you forever. What's so great about Jimmy is that every generation makes a direct connection to him. It could be wearing the shirt, could be seeing you know, pictures of him. It could be hearing his music in a movie or on the radio, or in a television commercial, anything like

that that brings you to this authentic, original guy. And you know, as you say, fifty plus years later, you know, like the Beatles, like led Zeppelin, it endures because of the quality and the uniqueness. And today where you've got kids looking on their phone, you know, trying to find out about music. You know, they don't know that it's nineteen sixty seven to them, Jimmy Hendricks is a singular, unique artist. He's cool. They add him to the playlist.

Speaker 3

Yeah, And one of the things fascinating about yourself is not only are you working with the family for the past three decades, I want to get into that. But you also four books. You've authored four books pretending to Jimmy Hendrix. One of them is called Sitting the Record Straight, which, by the way, Chas Chandler, the man who discovered Jimmy Hendrix and managed him, helped produce The Legendary Guitarists. He says,

it's the best book written about Jimmy. What are some of the things that you can set the record straight when it comes to Jimmy Hendrix, because, like you just said, he didn't do a lot of television, radio interviews, interviews. It's quite mysterious. I know. There's one story that Lemmy Killmister from Motorhead says that he was he was a roadie for Jimmy Hendrix an interviewer interview. He said, well you can't. You know, people say you can't trip on

LSD two days in a row. But he said he learned that he can because he had to get it for Jimmy Hendrix and Jimmy said, just double the dose and ob no problem. Was the drug use really that prevalent with Jimmy Hendrix.

Speaker 6

I don't think so. I think I think contextually, you know, if you think about the contemporaries that he was with. You know, I don't think that Brian Jones or Keith Richards. I mean, there are all kinds of folks you can point two that probably probably had uh. You know, I always say based on the people that I talked to that had a close association, you know that aren't you know, kind of dipping into hyperbole like like like Lemmy might

be doing. There is that you know, he did less drugs than you thought, had way more sex than you thought, and he was a lot smarter than you thought.

Speaker 3

Oh, guy was brilliant, not to mention. I mean he was in Fort Campbell right here in Kentucky, hundred first airborne. I mean, just a fascinating life packed into just twenty seven years. Out of your book, What is uh, what is one thing you would like to set the record straight on Jimmy Hendrix.

Speaker 6

Well, I think he was a very loyal guy. He was somebody that had had a really hard upbringing, you know, in terms of poverty and you know, trying to you know, his dad was brought him up essentially as a single dad. His mom passed in the fifties. I think it was you know, it was a difficult time for them financially, and I think, you know, he went left Seattle and went into the US Army, was a paratrooper at Fort Campbell.

But you know, this is a guy who is the most creatively free artist I think I've ever come across. You know, when he started in Fort Campbell and left and went to Nashville to it was to really join the Chitlin circuit, and you know, thinking that was the path. And when that didn't work, he went to New York and was a sideband for groups like the Issy Brothers and Joey d and you know, again he wanted more. And so you know, he said, okay, I'll go to

Greenwich Village. There's a scene there. He goes there and he's struggling. There. Chas Chandler of the Animals meets and says, I'll take you to England. He said, okay, I'll go there. So I think he was so determined to you know, find his path in music that he was willing to really do anything. He wanted the opportunity to record, He wanted the opportunity to express himself. And that that I

found fascinating. I mean, never relented. He could have taken the easy road, been a sideman for other artists, and you know, we never would have understood him in the manner in which we do now. But he was determined to make his way.

Speaker 3

I'm trying to remember that. Didn't he auditioned for I'm going to get this wrong, John. Was it the Monkeys or no? No.

Speaker 6

What's hilarious is that when he came back to America. You know, Paul McCartney had recommended to the folks putting on the Monterey Pop Festival that you've got to have Jimmy Hendrix. He was He had blown up in England. Everybody loved him there. He you know, he and the experience came back to Monterey and his manager, Michael Jeffrey thought that, well, you know, the Monkeys, they're they're really popular, and Dick Clark is doing this tour and he's a

big name in music, and we'll put the band on there. Well, of course it was a terrible fit. He did eight show and it came undone pretty quickly. But you know, the Monkeys did treat Jimmy really, really well, but it just wasn't a fit for that audience. They had no idea what he was bringing to the stage.

Speaker 3

I want to get. I want to get back to your books here in a second, but I got to get to the twenty twenty five experience Hendrix's tour, which, by the way, a couple of local dates you might want to go ahead and pencil in right now. The Taft Theater at Cincinnati, Ohio. That's going to be March eleventh, right around the corner. And then also Indianapolis twentieth Indianapolis, Indiana,

the twentieth of the Maraud Theater. And this is when hell of a show has been going on for years, and just just like I was saying, we're still celebrating the man, We're still celebrating the music and artists vary from city to city, but name some of the artists we get on this tour because people line up to go on this thing.

Speaker 6

Well, you do you know, just an idea that I had twenty years ago, and Jamie Hendricks and I have been putting it together. It's not something we do every year. We actually have and done it since twenty nineteen. And you know, it's a presence, it's a celebration of Jimmy Hendrix's music. That's really the best way to do it. It's a collaborative thing. You know, people are playing together. It's not a free wheeling jam session or anything like that.

I mean, it's also not like a Beatlemania thing where people are dressing up as Jimmy. It's not that at all, right, But it's people like Marcus King, like Duisel Zapple, like Kenny Wayne Shephard, like Zach Wilde. I mean, who are really you know, are diverse in their own music, but yet still feel the hendricks influence. And there's something cool about having everything from the blues to metal in a show like that where the common denominator is Hendrick song.

So yeah, we just felt that, you know, we don't have a living artist to represent. We have these great songs and by sharing them and celebrating them that we feel helps to keep the music going.

Speaker 3

You got to be honored, John, that the Hendrix family gave you the nod when it comes to helping out with this and all the other projects, because for over three decades you've been doing that, and most recently you have a book out with his sister, Jimmy's sister. But how did how did you get into this? How did you get connected with the family and what the you know, how did you get this gig? Because I got to think.

Speaker 6

Well, you know, I worked in music, you know, writing and producing and you know, directing and producing video and

films and things of that nature. You know, when Eddie and I wrote the book Hendrick Setting the Record Straight, the next thing that we did the following year, in ninety three, is we created a tribute record with Felix Carkano Cole Stone Free Attributed to Jimmy Hendrix, which had Eric Clapton and Jeff Beck and Pearl Jimmin's soundguard, and Buddy Guy, all these wonderful artists covering Jimmy and the purpose of the record was to establish scholarships in Jimmy's

name at the Natio College Fund, and that still continues today from that one one record. And when we finished that record, we thought we had done Jimmy. Well, Eddie and I went back to our own projects. But I had heard that the Hendricks family's lawyer was trying to sell their catalog out from under them. Jimmy was one of the rare artists who owned his own masters and

publishing and his songs. So you know, I volunteered during that time to assist them, had a great team of attorneys working with them as well, and you know, by nineteen ninety five they had won everything back and asked me to come on board. And it's a wonderful it's been a wonderful opportunity for me. I've loved it. It's you know, I often laugh, it's the greatest job you

could have. But you know, it just was something that that what a challenge and what an honor to be able to present, you know, this great artist music in a way that we hope, you know, on a global basis, gives people a deeper appreciation and understanding of this true original guy.

Speaker 3

I find a fascinating and sad if this number is accurate, because we're talking about a guy that dies at twenty seven years old fifty years ago and influenced everybody. But the time of the death, only one hundred and fifty thousand dollars was his net worth. Did he get taken to the cleaners like so many artists by the record companies.

Speaker 6

Well, no, you know what's interesting about Jimmy is that, you know when he passed, he was asset rich, cash poor. I mean, he was the first artist to fund and own a commercial recording studio. So you know, in nineteen sixty nine when Construction Electric lay started, you know, he was the top grossing concert act in the world. The Beatles were no longer touring, Bob Dylan, they weren't touring. Jimmy was the man. He headlined all festivals like Woodstock

and Atlanta Pop. He was the guy. But you know he was funding that himself. And when you know, when the studio cost overruns came in, he went to Warner Brothers and took an advance against his royalties and had started making payments on that loan by the summer of nineteen seventies. So you know, he he had the ability to make a tremendous amount of money. But you know, back at that time, you didn't go to a bank. Jimmy Hendricks couldn't walk into a Chase Bank and get

a loan, you know what I mean. So what he was doing was he was going out playing a concert at the La Forum, coming back with shopping bags full of cash, paying carpenters. It just was there was a wild West element to it at that time. There's you know, when Jimmy Herricks became famous, there were a lot of people who came out of the woodwork and sued him and made problems for him. There's no doubt about it.

That always happens in the music industry. Sadly it is you know, even to this day, that kind of thing still happens. But he just, you know, his death came at a time when he was right in the middle of a lot of things that were important to him. But he just you know, he wasn't sitting on a mountain of cash. But as I say, you know, he owned his own things. Even when he toured, he was you know, he was making ninety cents on the dollar.

He was one of the first artists to get a hold of merchandise and control it in a way that the Beatles, for example, had never been able to do. So he was, you know, he had the opportunity had he lived, to have made a great deal of money.
