I could turn on any classic rock station and be sure to hear this in an hour - so WHY here? Could it be you don't appreciate the magic of what Bill does? Starting in the 1980s, NASA had the service of Bob Farquar; "Farquhar is a genius with celestial pinball," says a colleague who's known him for 30 years, "and he'd be the first to admit it." He specialized in the arcane mathematical art of using planets and moons as slingshots to accelerate and decelerate probes to get them to their target in the shortest time . . . but he had a knack for showmanship that had him make the positioning of probes at critical junctures coincide with important family dates; sort of, "Today's your 29th birthday - so to celebrate I had probe XYZ use Titan to cut it's velocity by 29% today." I exaggerate, to give you the idea, but his habit of planning such "coincidences" years in advance drove his colleagues nuts when they learned why things happened when they did. It drove them even more nuts to try to find more "sensible" trajectories — and never could. Safely landing the NEAR probe on the asteroid Eros, is as wildly brilliant as anything I can think of. Why am I telling you this? Well you can look at the solar system and get bored to death if you focus on the major planets, ignoring the pirouettes playing around them. When I hear Bill play a musical Jupiter like Hendrix, I salivate with anticipation at the segue slingshot he's preparing. Today he used All Along the Watchtower to slingshot towards us a little duo that I had liked but would never have expected to be able to follow Hendrix without coming across as pallid as a comet trail. Previously, I'd ranked First Aid Kit's "Wolf" at 6, but immediately boosted it to 8 today, so well did it stand up. I'd call Bill a genius with musical pinball. [ Reply ]

I could turn on any classic rock station and be sure to hear this in an hour - so WHY here? I just don't see it this way - if you walked through the Louvre every day, would you stop looking at the Mona Lisa? You are right in that it is perfect and amazing - and probably once a theme song for countless of (now) middle aged folk; I hear it and am reminded of what a talent Jimi was and sometimes ponder what the music scene might be if he was still alive... so, "Why here?" you say? Because it's here and that's what's here - I for one celebrate that, even though I too have heard it so many times. [ Reply ]

Biscobret Jul 26, 2012 - 11:23	Obviously deserves a 9 or 10 - BUT I can't rate it, 'cause I just don't need to hear this anymore - come on now, really? This can be heard 10 times a day on just about every commercial radio station - how about some Jimi that's not so so so bloody overdone! [ Reply ]
