Who's Jimi Hendrix?

So this girl at work was wearing a shirt where you could see a little bit of her back tattoo. It looked like Jimi Hendrix, so I said "Is that Jimi Hendrix or something"? She said "Who is Jimi Hendrix?"
She was serious.

It's definitely very surprising. She's 20 or 21, I think. How could she never have heard of Jimi Hendrix?

Being that Hendrix was around in the early 70's, it would make sense that someone in their twenties or younger wouldn't know about him.
A lot of people will wear t-shirts without any knowledge of what is printed on them.

Anyone over the age of 18 should know who Jimi Hendrix is. I just can't understand how she couldn't know. wtf.

She said that it was her daughter. I don't think she would wear a shirt with her tattoo half hanging out if she didn't want people to see it.

Haha, no I could just see the hair and it reminded me of pictures I had seen of Hendrix. I don't think that I actually saw the entire tattoo.

He was dead by 1970, but I don't know how someone gets through life without accidentally gathering some kind of image of Jimi Hendrix. I guess it's possible 
Not long ago I ran into someone who didn't have a clue who John Lennon was.

Really? wtf, how old was the kid who didn't know who Lennon was? I asked the girl who didn't know who Hendrix was what kind of music she listens to and she said "R&B and head banging music". But still, I was shocked that she hadn't at least heard of him at her age.

My dad told me the story of something he saw in a record store back in the 80's:
Some guy was dragging his son into the record store, pulled up a record and showed it to him, and said, "See? I told you Paul McCartney was in a band before Wings."

That's good. I like the bit from "The Simpsons" where Homer is talking to some lawyer(?) who claims that he got Paul McCartney out of Wings. Homer says "You idiot. He was the most talented one."

She must not be very cultured to have no idea who Jimi Hendrix is... He did some amazing things and garners a lot of respect even today, as this thread shows. Give her an taste of what he is, I bet she will dig it.

Even before I heard Jimi's music, I knew who he was. My friend's g/f didn't know who he was either. Thankfully we've brought her up to speed on the classics.

No, I asked a few times just to make sure that she was serious. She really hadn't heard of him. I would let her borrow a CD like a lot of you suggested, but she probably wouldn't appreciate it. I can tell that she isn't really a fan of music if she describes her musical taste as "R&B and headbangin' music". She's probably one of those people who just listen to anything that's on the radio. It's too bad. She's smoking hot.
