5.0 out of 5 stars Seattle's Dirty Little Secret, July 2, 2000

By 

Cal Green (Florida) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Rock Prophecy - Sex & Jimi Hendrix in World Religions - The Original Asteroid Prediction & Microsoft Connection (Paperback)

Michael Fairchild's writings for Hendrix CDs are so much more stimulating to read than anything released since his career was obstructed by Paul Allen and an ungrateful Hendrix family. The Hendrix :Blues CD (MCA 1994) reached the Top-10 on Billboard charts. That release was named "Best/Historic Reissue of 1994" by Guitar Player magazine, was fawned over by Rolling Stone, and got critical acclaim around the world,thanks to Michael's selection of the music and superb booklet notes included with that CD. Likewise, his work on the Hendrix :Woodstock CD (MCA 1994) brought that release a "Best Reissue of 1994" citation from Rolling Stone.

That the new Hendrix company replaced Michael's writings with uninspired junk is a testament to their own dull perceptions. As Fairchild points out, we won't see a Hendrix release top the charts again, which is tragic, because Michael knew how to do that, and he was stopped by Paul Allen's meddling money, after Fairchild arranged for Allen's Experience Music Project to acquire some of the worlds best collections of Hendrix material. And now Fairchild's new book, Rock Prophecy, reveals how Paul Allen's media empire went on to overexpose the asteroid story. Evidence appears conclusive about Rock Prophecy being the source for hype about asteroids. Fairchild sought to publish Rock Prophecy while Paul Allen funded litigation that ended Michael's career with the Hendrix company. Why did the billionaire refuse to compensate Fairchild for helping to build the EMP's Hendrix collections? Mr. Allen appears as a jealous rogue obsessed with shutting this guy up.

It was Michael who was in there fighting Alan Douglas' control of the Hendrix legacy year after year. In one section of Rock Prophecy, Fairchild describes fighting a brutal battle against Alan Douglas, while at the same time fighting hordes of Douglas haters who resented the way Fairchild's advice kept getting Douglas-produced Hendrix releases back onto Billboard charts, while Paul Allen financed a lawsuit aimed to wrest control of Jimi's legacy away from Douglas. Mr. Allen's money nearly succeeded in silencing Fairchild, who is the brains behind the successful marketing of Hendrix in the 1990s.

Fairchild put together a CD titled Cornerstones that reached the Top-5 on Billboard charts. That, along with the :Blues CD that he worked on, remain the ONLY Hendrix releases to get into the Top-10 on the charts since 1971! But Fairchild defends himself well in the Introduction to Rock Prophecy. He states upfront that this is not a "Hendrix book" and he seems exhilarated to be free of the limited/limiting structure of "biographies." Rock Prophecy places Hendrix inside a vastly larger epic - mind boggling twists of history and religion. Some of these insights seem miraculous. It was Michael who was assigned by the Hendrix company to gather all quotes from Hendrix. If any of the enemies of Alan Douglas had made these discoveries, they would have made headlines years ago, I suspect. Fairchild pulls together over a hundred scholars, recognized experts on history, theology, anthropology, planetology, and science, to support a whole new context surrounding Hendrix. It's a fantastic read. Nearly 1000 footnotes cite sources for information. Rock Prophecy reports U.S. Government sponsored research into "remote viewing," but there are just a few sections about the occult, like five citings about witchcraft are in the Index - these are references to quotes from Hendrix on the subject, or references to 17th century witch-hunts as a "women's holocaust." The book does contain insightful analysis of Hendrix's obsession with Voodoo, implications for possession rites, and why these rituals are condemned by Judeo-Christian beliefs. That discussion precedes amazing interpretations about the early Christian Church, and the men who "closed the cannon" on the meaning of Jesus.

A remarkable aspect of this book is its seamless blend of religion with science. Hundreds of Hendrix quotes are assembled with striking results. The thought process of Jimi Hendrix has never before been revealed like this. Of particular interest is a Hendrix penned writing titled "Terra Revolution and Venus." In a brilliant juxtaposition, Fairchild cites the research of German physicist Otto Muck to explain how the Mayan calendar is based on an ancient alignment of Venus, Earth, and moon, which captured an asteroid and directed it to our planet. This is the only section on planetary alignment in this 380 page book, and it highlights the fate of related documents produced by ancient Mayans. Mayans had institutionalized adult homosexuality as a way of life. When Catholic Conquistadors invaded the New World, they destroyed almost all Mayan records that would have informed modern civilization of the threat of asteroids. Fairchild cites this as one more example of "Retarded History," a process that delays human progress and awareness.

Rock Prophecy is an immaculately researched book, evidence is incontrovertible about Hendrix's obsession with asteroids. It's incredible that this important aspect of Hendrix appears no where in any other book. THAT is why I think critics in the pocket of the Hendrix family and Paul Allen "have it in" for Fairchild, they realize that Rock Prophecy can take this subject out of the "guitar greaser" zoo it's now captive of and launch it all into permanent world literature.

Media fixation on asteroids in the 1990s really looks like a rip off of Fairchild's genius, at the hands of the "Microsoft Connection." All they can do now is try to slow down exposure of his book with "bad reviews," dissuade bystanders not to read what is destined to surface as the last word on the importance of the Hendrix story. Fairchild was cruelly brutalized by Alan Douglas, the Hendrix family, and Paul Allen's homophobic cronies, but these creeps might well be concerned over the effect Rock Prophecy will have once it achieves the circulation it deserves. This really is Seattle's dirty little secret.

5.0 out of 5 stars Rock Prophecy - Something to think about..., January 3, 2000

By 

Dustin D. Brand (Alb NM, USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Rock Prophecy - Sex & Jimi Hendrix in World Religions - The Original Asteroid Prediction & Microsoft Connection (Paperback)

Rock Prophecy, the book and cd by Michael Fairchild is a unique take on the Asteroid subject. Michael connects Jimi Hendrix to the co-founder of Microsoft, Paul Allen, and tells of Jimi's original prediction of an Asteroid heading towards us. Rock Prophecy goes on to discuss sex and Jimi Hendrix in particular in world religions. Michael, being the worlds most widely read Jimi Hendrix scholar is the first to decipher Jimi's writings, and in my opinion to uncover the depth of many subjects regarding Jimi and his life. Rock Prophecy is very well written, and includes almost a thousand footnotes adding to the validity of Michael's research. This is definitly a book that will make you think. ...

If you're looking for a great read, and you enjoy conspiracy and asteroids, or just want to know more about Jimi Hendrix, pick up Rock Prophecy!

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Understanding, Best Performance, September 17, 2001

By 

Gordon Neuberg (Massachusetts) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Rock Prophecy - Sex & Jimi Hendrix in World Religions - The Original Asteroid Prediction & Microsoft Connection (Paperback)

I'm a student from Mass. going to school in Rochester, NY where, on Sept. 1, 2001, I went to see Michael Fairchild play the music of Jimi Hendrix. The performance was fantastic. If you closed your eyes you'd swear it was Hendrix playing. At this show I learned of Fairchild's CD, titled "rockprophecy.com", and his book "Rock Prophecy."
This book is exceptionally well written and pleasing to read. The stories are quite a surprise. Fairchild has unusual ways of seeing Hendrix. He combines this with new ways of thinking about religion and society. It strikes me as important research how these topics tie in with asteroids and Microsoft, and with rich people stealing credit for work done by others.
But after hearing Fairchild play that Hendrix music, I realized he does have the best understanding of Hendrix. The audience in Rochester was extremely enthused. Fairchild can use his musical talent to get his views across, which is good because "Rock Prophecy" gives evidence of what looks like jealous people trying to twist and misrepresent what the author is saying. Fairchild is in a battle with people who resent his talent and reject the view that equality is necessary if society is to organize for survival. The research is published here with sources cited for an impressive amount of information. To me, Fairchild reminds of Arthur and the Sword in the Stone. The one who can play that magical music so well is the one who will be listened to. The answers found in "Rock Prophecy" are answers everyone needs to hear.
