Jimi Hendrix, being a Black man, wrote "Purple Haze" because he took a bunch of opiates and puked up the skunk cabbage he loved to eat while recovering from drug binges. It's a goddamn shame he didn't survive the second round.

Hendrix has been mentioned.
Bon Scott was another (drugs).
John Bonham was another (booze).
Swing Era trombonist and bandleader Tommy Dorsey ate a big meal, took a prescription downer, and went to bed.
When he barfed up his meal, like the others, he aspirated it and was too bombed to cough it out.
