Jimi Hendrix came from Washington state, had a hit with a song called "Hey Joe", an album called "Electric Ladyland" and is considered one of the best ever electric guitarists in history.
He also claimed to have been greatly influenced by sci-fi (hence "electrically played for outer space") and went away on a very loooong holiday, aged only 27 (just like Kurt Cobain).
So maybe the lyrics have more to do with poor departed Jimi than Nirvana, as a few people above have said.

And then the "memories of another life painted in capitals on her shirt" could be referring to the JIMI t-shirts we've likely all seen.
