Further back in this thread I posted a long refutation of European Hendrix archivist Caesar Glebbeek's publication 'Until We Meet Again'. Glebbeek was spurred by Hendrix co-manager Tappy Wright's book and its claim that Tappy overheard Jimi's main manager Michael Jeffery confess to murdering Jimi. Glebbeek tried to use his noted Hendrix expertise to disprove Wright's claim.
My lengthy rebuttal thoroughly refuted Glebbeek and has drawn the attention of many persons who agree with its conclusions. However Glebbeek wrote his work in a way that culminated in another Hendrix co-manager being quoted saying "The murder theories were all bullshit".
I managed to catch up to that co-manager, 88 year old Bob Levine, in his Palm Coast, Florida nursing home this February. Most reading this probably aren't aware that Glebbeek had persuaded a large majority of Hendrix fans that Jimi wasn't murdered and that Bob Levine was on his side that the claim was nonsense. Levine had unfortunately been duped into making that comment by a Daily News reporter and by music journalist Joe Bosso, however it was right after he had been misinformed about the situation by out of context information. After several years of meeting with Bob and having lengthy discussions about the evidence Bob eventually came around and told me "I guess Jimi was murdered. You should bring your evidence to the FBI." If you go to Google you'll see the media has carefully kept the misquotes of Levine at the top and hasn't bothered to post his real feelings. The readers should know that Bob had gone to lengths to discuss Michael Jeffery's suspicious relationship to Jimi's death in the 1992 book 'Setting The Record Straight' by John McDermott. Somehow the Daily News, Joe Bosso, and Glebbeek all managed to overlook that in their attempts to make Levine look like he didn't believe in the murder claim.
Here is what Bob Levine really thinks:
