An edict is a decree or announcement of a law, often associated with monarchism, but it can be under any official authority. Synonyms include dictum and pronouncement. Edict derives from the Latin edictum. In the late 15th century the spelling was edycte and known as meaning a proclamation having the force of law.
Death of Jimi Hendrix. On September 18, 1970, the American musician Jimi Hendrix died in London, aged 27 years. For some days Hendrix had been in poor health, due in part to fatigue caused by overworking, a chronic lack of sleep, and an illness assumed to be influenza-related.
According to Carmine Appice, Hendrix wasn't a fan of Zeppelin. He thought they stole from everybody. While I can't deny that they used what they liked from other bands, it would be hard to say that they didn't make it all their own. Plus other bands did exactly the same and it was something of a tradition in the Blues.
