Short Link to this Quote:
Jimi Hendrix was criticizing what he saw as the overemphasis on money and materialism in American culture. By saying “the dollar bill is God in the States,” he meant that many Americans valued money and wealth above all else. Calling them “Pelican people” was likely a reference to their focus on practical matters rather than spiritual or philosophical issues.
Overall, Hendrix seemed to feel that Americans defined their identity and purpose primarily through their financial status, with little regard for other values. He believed they only cared about accumulating wealth and nothing deeper or more meaningful.

“Sometimes I stop thinking of it as a dollar bill, I just think about it as materials. I have to remind myself sometimes that it’s worth money”
