You have to understand what Caesar is trying to do here on page 48. Caesar displays a full page record of Sharon Lawrence and lawyer Michael Shapiro's conversation over Jimi trying to fire Jeffery back in June 1969. What Caesar is trying to do here is show how impossible it was for Jimi to fire Jeffery. By doing this he is trying to indirectly suggest that since it was impossible for Jimi to fire Jeffery that any suggestion that Jimi was murdered for it is wrong. But this is just Caesar, once again, condemning himself by means of his own material. Jimi confided in Sharon Lawrence as a stable, reliable ear he could trust with his most personal thoughts. Sharon was a person outside and separate from the 60's rock circus surrounding Jimi and was the first stable female figure he could trust in his life. Because of this he went to her for advice over his troubles with Jeffery.
Jimi knew he had been set-up by Jeffery at the Toronto Customs heroin bust. Jeffery probably knew Jimi was starting to have thoughts of separating from him so suddenly Jimi gets busted for heroin and therefore has to totally depend on Jeffery to keep him from serious jail time. The month following this bust Jimi went to Sharon Lawrence and got her to go to Steingarten with him and voice his intention to sever Jeffery. Page 48 pretty much details that effort and shows how difficult it was for Jimi to remove himself from Jeffery. Again, Jimi wasn't stupid and the June effort to sever Jeffery came 1 month after the heroin bust. Jimi wasn't taken seriously by Steingarten and was patronizingly asked to gather evidence of malfeasance by Jeffery. In the end Steingarten was also Jeffery's lawyer, so, really, nothing could be done because Steingarten had split interests. So what Caesar is dishonestly trying to do here is establish Jimi knew, as far back as June 1969, that it was impossible to fire Jeffery.
Caesar is totally dishonest here because what he is actually registering is the fact Jimi initiated his separation from Jeffery at this time. A true and accurate interpretation of this event would show that from this point on Jimi was working to fire Jeffery and started a campaign of non-cooperation in order to discourage Jeffery and drive him off. After getting no result from his meeting with Steingarten Jimi then proceeded to break-up the Experience that month. He also retreated to the Catskills house and stopped touring. Jimi was most-definitely resisting Jeffery and going on strike. Caesar knows this which is why he limits the information by making absolutely no comment on the contents of this page or what it shows. Caesar is in full possession of the evidence and material to show Jeffery started using intimidation tactics, like mafia thugs shooting guns in Jimi's backyard and fake kidnappings, to overcome this resistance. Jeffery's cash flow started getting tight because of this, forcing him to make loans from the New York mob. By doing this Jeffery put indirect pressure on Jimi and countered Jimi's strike with typical espionage-type tactics. Jimi was having huge dirty pressure applied to him by the 'warm and friendly' Jeffery [as described on page 47 by his colleagues] (and not corrected by last-word-having Caesar).
What is once again outrageous about what Caesar presents here is that it actually shows the initiating event that led to Jimi's death. This is the true and obvious context of what Caesar relates on page 48. Jimi tried to fire Jeffery in June 1969 and then struggled with him for the next 15 months, trying to make his perfidy not pay-off. Jeffery's intractable control of Jimi, illustrated on page 48, only goes to show the malicious grip Jeffery had on Jimi and why Jimi tried to escape it. Jeffery was a man who, because of his wicked intentions for Jimi, would not allow himself to be fired, as page 48 shows. The crime Caesar commits here is that he tries to suggest Jimi had an appreciation from this event that he could never fire Jeffery, so therefore any suggestion he was murdered for firing him is false. But this is just Caesar up to his own wicked deception again. It's just Caesar attempting to put a false spin on the facts to suit his purposes. Caesar once again gives himself away by not being able to give any contextual comment on this. The less he says the better because any attempt to describe what is happening in this event will only lead him to show it was causatory in Jimi's death. Caesar shows that his effort here is one of deception by means of omission. Anyone truly trying to provide all the facts behind this would never leave out as much as Caesar does. What he leaves out is exactly what shows why what he writes isn't a true description of the events. And there you have Caesar Glebbeek and 'Until We Meet Again'.

What Caesar does on this page is truly pathetic and serves as an epic betrayal of the person upon whom Caesar has based his life's efforts for decades. Once again Caesar lays out various comments from different main witnesses in a style that suggests the reader will make his own decision as to what the material says. This is a deplorable strategy being deployed by Caesar in order to deceive the reader. What is shown here is multiple accounts of Jimi's suicide attempts and witnessings of his depressed suicidal nature. It is written in a way that suggests the reader is being exposed to some previously-hidden shocking aspect of Jimi that shines new light on his death. Caesar once again lays out a map of the differing comments on Jimi to show that 1) Jimi was surrounded by completely-opposing descriptions of the same event, and 2) that the reader can pick which one he wants to believe. What Caesar does is muddy the waters to give merit to suicide claims in order push his conclusion, but he does it in a dishonest way that floats quotes as a smokescreen rather than any honest interpretation.
Mixed in to Caesar's smear sheet are quotes from Noel and lawyer Mark Sandground telling how Steingarten lawyer Steve Weiss had made sloppy mistakes that caused Jimi great stress in his lawsuits with Chalpin. Also listed were the paternity suits against Jimi that caused him serious stress. The reason Caesar includes these comments is to indirectly suggest Jimi was at his wit's end because of it and became suicidal as he had been before. Have no doubt Caesar is posing himself as a defense lawyer offering character-assassinating material against Jimi being posed as honest truth. The intended effect of this material is to plant the unconscious assumption in the reader's mind that Jimi had attempted suicide before and had good reason to do it again on the 18th. This is a very devious maneuver on Caesar's behalf equal to a Judas betrayal.
I guess Jimi was a very emotional person who reacted dramatically to life's injustices. This overt expression is part of what made him a great artist. If he did make some dramatic gestures by cutting his wrist during a time of life crisis it was more for acting-out than killing himself as the tiny injuries and ineffective results showed. In all 3 claimed examples of "suicide attempts" by Jimi you can see he wasn't very good at it and when he allegedly did so he never managed to kill himself. A good psychiatrist would probably say Jimi's "suicide attempts" were more reaching-out for help than anything else. So, once again, have no doubt that Caesar is directly inferring that all the ingredients that caused Jimi to attempt to commit suicide before were all there on the 18th. By doing this in a way that lays out all the quotes, without any comment, Caesar is suggesting that he is showing reverence to Jimi by not speaking directly, and that the events of the 18th could very well have been another damage-control action by persons who knew the real cause. But this is just a crime against Jimi and I'll show you why. It's an effort to obstruct the real evidence by clouding it with out-of-context quotes that come from people so close to the event that it lends them credibility.
If you pay close attention, the three people who were closest to the event and it's real cause, Monika, Chas, and Jeffery, all say with confidence that Jimi didn't commit suicide. This isn't surprising because those three persons all knew Jimi was murdered. While trying not to expose themselves in their comments, all three can't help but express what they already know, that is, that Jimi was murdered. Monika shows her typical psychopathic tendency to give conflicting information in the same place by suggesting she couldn't figure-out why Jimi took so many pills but then follows it up by saying she was "absolutely certain Jimi did not commit suicide". Well, it's not hard to figure-out why a person who witnesses a murder would have that certainty.
There's two players here who merit closer scrutiny. First is Steve Weiss, one of Steingarten's hip young lawyers assigned to Hendrix. His legalistic backing of the infamous Inquest and its findings is suspicious. Frankly, the way he speaks sounds defensive as if he knew the real reason. Eric Burdon went out of his way to claim Jimi committed suicide. If we look at Burdon's background and knowledge of Jeffery it is highly suspicious that he went out of his way to claim suicide so strongly. Burdon was complicit in covering-up the true times involved that morning. One has to wonder if Eric would go to such lengths to cover-up what he thought was a suicide by cleaning the flat for 5 hours and then lying about it?
The text and wording of Monika's, Jeffery's, Weiss', and Chas's quotes gives away what they truly knew. If you read what they say it's obvious all four knew Jimi was murdered. Caesar will never point this out because he just takes everybody at their word and never makes any abstract criticism or analysis. Let's read Chas' quote: "I don't believe for one minute he killed himself. That was out of the question. But something had to happen and there was no way of stopping it. You just get a feeling sometimes. It was as if the last couple of years had prepared us for it. It was like the message I had been waiting for." - Now if you compare this statement to the one Chas made on British TV: "Anyone who speaks of the real way Jimi died will have his head blown-off", you can see right away what is really being said and how. Keep in mind this is the same person who said on 'The Wink Of An Eye' that when his father told him Jimi had died the first words out of Lotta's mouth were "Mike Jeffery!"
No, Caesar knows damned-well that Jimi was in the middle of preparing for major life moves and a new musical direction. If Caesar bothered to include the full honest context of the events surrounding Jimi during that last week he would include the fact Jimi was upbeat and positive about breaking-away from Jeffery and taking charge of his new musical future. Jimi was just the opposite of depressed and desperate. He was positive and ambitious and pro-actively taking charge of righting his ship. These are hardly the personal conditions or circumstances that someone would then respond to by committing suicide. You simply don't make those moves and then commit suicide right in the process. That makes no sense and Caesar is fully aware of it and that's why he completely omits these qualifying facts. The sad truth is the true reason the quotes Caesar presents are so speculative is because the people making them are fully aware Jimi was murdered and why. As is typical of his entire presentation Caesar then construes this oppositely from what it really says and exploits the deception rather than exposing its form. And we haven't even touched the forensic evidence that shows Jimi was murdered by being drowned in wine. So, if Caesar wants to highlight text for emphasis and suggest everything prior is irrelevant THIS is the place where he should do it. The evidence and witnessing that Jimi was drowned in wine pre-empts his entire effort of lies and also puts them in proper perspective. Something Caesar conspicuously steers clear of throughout his shameful disinformation campaign otherwise known as 'Until We Meet Again'.

Page 50 offers a list of main Hendrix witnesses who have died since Jimi's death.
Finally, Caesar wraps-up the publication with some parting remarks. He gives the words of Alan Douglas making contemplative, eulogistic summations of Jimi and his life. The effect is a final word closure on Jimi and what happened to him. These people were involved in a scandal that ended-up in Jimi's death. They tend to get highly philosophical as sort of a psychological mechanism by which to escape the awareness of what happened to Jimi and their involvement in it. Monika says "I do believe that...Jimi is very happy where he is. Nobody can hurt him anymore..." Well, Monika, what exactly are you referring to when you speak of Jimi being "hurt"?
Chas Chandler: "It's trite to say there are pressures on musicians, but there were a million on Hendrix." ("Million"? Like in million dollar life insurance policy Chas?)
What is Chas really saying here?
