Guest Post: Almost-celebrity home for sale

Leon Hendrix, brother of Jimi and leader of his own band "Leon Hendrix Mysterience" has his house on the market. Mr. Hendrix asked his agent to make sure that is was marketed as a Hendrix family property. Zingy ad copy includes "House is full of trash. No water or power, and needs repairs." Sometimes, they just don't get any better than this in lovely Seattle.

Lest you think Mr. Hendrix's directive was overkill, consider Seattle's obsession with Jimi's memory. Shrines abound to his life and music, with the largest being Paul Allen's Experience Music Project. Jimi's childhood home has also been a fascination for many around here, as we followed its travels from Seattle's Central Area to a trailer park across the street from the cemetery that holds his remains.
