Impassioned!

Briefly brilliant and suddenly truncated, their lives were like shooting stars. Superficially, the Romantic poet Percy Bysshe Shelley and the 1960s music icon Jimi Hendrix seem poles apart. After all, the former was born into an elite English family, while the latter was of a mixed descent (African-American, Native American and Caucasian) and grew up in a Seattle home filled with adultery, alcoholism and poverty. Search deeper and you know that both icons were heart-breakers who fell in and out of love at the snap of a finger and shared a don’t-give-a-damn attitude and conspicuous talent in their fields that enamoured subsequent generations. Despite being born 150 years apart, Shelley and Hendrix had a common philosophy of life and were the poster children of rebellion, free love and anti-establishmentarianism in their times. Born in England after Europe had witnessed the French Revolution, Shelley incorporated the Revolution’s libertine ideas in his life and scandalized English society with his unorthodoxy. Despite dismissing the institution of marriage, he eloped twice, both times with 16 year olds.
