(According to bassist/singer Randy Jackson, jazz fusion is an exceedingly difficult genre to play. According to Jackson, " I...picked jazz fusion because I was trying to become the ultimate technical musician-able to play anything. Jazz fusion to me is the hardest music to play. You have to be so proficient on your instrument. Playing five tempos at the same time, for instance. I wanted to try the toughest music because I knew if I could do that, I could do anything.")

How does that explain a lot concerning his character? As in what? The reason Jimi joined the service was because he was picked up for riding in a stolen vehicle. When left with a choice he took the option of joining the service rather than doing time. As would I. Not downing my hero. I could care less about his runins with the law. Im just wondering where you connecting his character with his short stay as a paratrooper?
