Birthday[edit]

German wiki shows different birthday 8 November 1946 - http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monika_Dannemann — Preceding unsigned comment added by 192.35.17.12 (talk) 16:27, 6 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Occupations of Monika[edit]

I streamlined the introduction. Monika was a figure skater (not an ice skater) and undoubtedly took part in championships, but it cannot be verified that she was a national champion. I did research in German online sources and could not find any hint on this.

I too deleted the two sports stubs because Monika's main public notability is being the ex-girlfriend of Jimi Hendrix. Any arguments against deleting the artist stub too? It seems she is not renowned as a genuine artist.--Peter Eisenburger 19:55, 23 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

'We'll Burn The Sky'[edit]

From the article: "[Monika Dannemann] also worked with [Uli Jon Roth] on his music, such as a song "We'll Burn the Sky" by Scorpions (credit for its lyrics) and album cover artwork for Roth."

I've loved this song ever since I was a kid -- particularly the live version from 'Tokyo Tapes'. I only recently learned that Monika wrote the lyrics. If so, then it's presumably about Jimi Hendrix. But the song's lyrics suggest suicide rather than accident death ("Yesterday you were leaving. Leaving life and all the pain").

Any one have more info about her, this song and the presumed connection to Hendrix? Dialwon 12:15, 30 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Theories[edit]

I made a correction to the misleading last paragraph about the trial and deleted a wrong category. Moreover, I suggest to completely delete the sentences about the theory of Mr. Brown and Mr. Henderson. There are many theories about Hendrix's death and a Wikipedia biography should strictly keep neutral. I would use phrases similar to those in the article of Jimi Hendrix himself.--Peter Eisenburger 14:22, 10 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

This is complicated. Brown never directly says that Dannemann killed Hendrix or did something that straight off would have caused his death, but he hints that she poured wine into his mouth when he was lying blacked out by her sleeping tablets - wine that flooded his throat, windpipe and stomach and thus triggered his death. He refrains from saying this quite openly - she was already dead when the book came out, he had known her and he likely didn't want more litigation with Roth or anyone else - but it's there, and it's grounded on statements by the doctors and ambulance men who had tended to Hendrix. Sharon Lawrence claims to have called Dannemann in the 1990s and suggested the same thing, and made her admit that she had poured wine into the man, but she obviously thinks Dannemann was a piece of scum, it comes off her text that she hated Dannemann all along irrespective of whether she had had any involvement with Hendrix's death or not.

Neither Lawrence nor Brown makes Dannemann come across as a nice or sensible woman, but Brown at least shows her as one of many hangers-on who tried to suck fame and dreams off Jimi. Still, I think it's justified to indicate that her role in this story has been questioned by many people. I'm working on editing the corresponding parts of the Jimi Hendrix article and sourcing it from Brown and Lawrence, without uncritically repeating all they say.Strausszek (talk) 02:03, 11 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The description of Hendrix's death on this page does NOT match what is on Hendrix's page. I would assume that Hendrix's page is the most accurate as he was more famous and also has a very large family that I am sure would like to see his biography be recorded correctly.

No groupie[edit]

I deleted the category "Groupie" before. Not every woman who has a relationship with musicians is a groupie. Monika Dannemanns relationship with Jimi Hendrix lasted a year and with Uli Roth 20 years.--Peter Eisenburger 12:23, 12 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Picture[edit]

Here is a picture of Mr. Hendrix and Monica -- http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://www.thehendrixcollection.gobot.com/images/599.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.thehendrixcollection.gobot.com/photo4.html&usg=__oh6xewKkwCh1-g4i2JIpCK6wEW0=&h=213&w=291&sz=34&hl=en&start=5&tbnid=XqqykWEGCO2E0M:&tbnh=84&tbnw=115&prev=/images%3Fq%3DMonika%2BDannemann%26gbv%3D2%26hl%3Den%26sa%3DG —Preceding unsigned comment added by 118.166.236.27 (talk) 10:45, 11 December 2008 (UTC) i have nothing against the late monika dannemann. as far as i am concerned, she was completely innocent of any wrongdoing in hendrix's death. in fact, she probably very much wanted to keep him alive and did her best to ATTEMPT to keep him alive. but that's not why i'm participating in the "talk" section of this article. i'm not here to exonerate dannemann, merely to point out the existence of a historically important filmtext relating to the hendrix-danneman "case." larry buchanan's "down on us" is a fictionalized, speculative conspiracy film. it is buchanan's "thesis" that janis joplin and jimi hendrix were "victims" of the fbi. the federal bureau of investigation arranged for their deaths in order to end their ongoing "detrimental" effect on america's youth. (according to buchanan, jim morrison would also have been a victim of the fbi, but he evaded this fate by hiding out in an obscure french monastery until his death.) "down on us" relates to this article because, in it, buchanan apparently shows dannemann FACILITATING hendrix's death under orders from the fbi. dannemann is not mentioned by name, but a german accented woman is seen HELPING to kill hendrix in the film. (a few minutes later, a couple of fbi agents come in and "finish the job.") i don't agree with this scenario. as far as i am concerned, buchanan (the filmaker) was engaging in reckless speculation and probably was guilty of slander and/or liable. that may be. i don't necessarily want to give the late larry buchanan any publicity with respect to "down on us," yet i think that the world at large needs to know about this film. "down on us" is, if nothing else, a curious artifact. it should be the object of further study, if for no other reason than so it can be refuted effectively. i wouldn't want some young hendrix fan to come upon this film and conclude that (a) it's version of "history" is correct, and that therefore (b) the late monika dannemann was a murderess or at least an "accomplice" with respect to hendrix's death. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.232.104.233 (talk) 04:43, 7 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

"Len Jones" ?[edit]

I've added a "cite" here, as this seems a spurious piece of information ... and somewhat iffy, seeing as "Len Jones" is an actor who apperaed in "Black Beauty" the TV series. TheNoBrainer (talk) 11:02, 9 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Background/ parents/ wealth?[edit]

Documentaries on Hendrix and his death regularly refer to her parents' wealth and the fact that she was bought all the very best, including a new Mercedes Benz each year by her father; do any reliable published sources go into this, as the article is currently very light on this sort of detail? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.109.205.195 (talk) 03:49, 27 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
