David Frost, Himself : I heard you use the expression, an Electric Church, as a ambition you had. Was this speaking metaphorically or poetically or do you really want it.
Jimi Hendrix, Himself : Honestly, I don't know. It's just a belief I have, you know, and we do use electric guitars. Everything, you know, is electrified nowadays. So, therefore, the belief comes in through electricity to the people, whatever. That's why we play so loud. Because it doesn't actually hit through the ear drums - like most groups do nowadays. You know, they say, we're gonna play loud too because they play loud. And they've got this real shrill sound. You know, it's really hard. We're playin' for our sound to go inside the soul of the person, actually, you know. And see if they can awaken some kind of thing in their minds, you know. Because there are so many sleepin' people. You can call it that, if you want to.

Jimi Hendrix, Himself : Before the times of King, Dr. Luther King, you know, it's been a whole lot of changes, you know, and some people - after the excitement or the backwash or the change slows down, they say, yeah, that was groovy. Let's see what else can we feast upon now? You know, on other things. There's a whole lot of changes happening. But, now its time for all these changes to connect. To show that it is leading up to love, peace and harmony.
