Jimi Hendrix Money Quote saying Americans believe only in money and that nothing else matters to them. Jimi Hendrix said:
 

 

“The dollar bill is God in the States. All those Pelican people just believe in money and nothing else” — Jimi Hendrix

 

 

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.
