I immediately intended to write some snarky response like this:  Yeah.  American Idol, Britney Spears, and their cousins will soon unseat Jimi (Hendrix), Jimmy (Page), and Jim (Morrison) in the popular music pantheon.  Make you a deal: hold your breath until that happens, and when it does, I'll congratulate you on being right.

And then I felt the maturity of my years.  You know, there is good new music around these days.  Doesn't de-value the older stuff by one scintilla, however.

(PS: If that really is a 40-year-old condom ... get a new one.)

Is that a 40 year old condom in your wallet? There's great new music. Be open to it.

Would the person who stole our silk screen of Jimi Hendrix that we made in Grade 10 art class, please bring it back.  Yeah, I know that was 1971.

My favorite is in verse 2:

The broom is drearily sweeping
Up the broken pieces of yesterday's life

Heartbreaking.  Jimi's best song.

 I just looked and there is absolutely no Kingston Trio in the library nor has any ever been uploaded.  I need to get off my lazy ass and start uploading ancient stuff to annoy the kids again.  I don't really have much of a lawn I can yell at them to get off of.

Good Lord! What do you have to do to get a 10 around here???! The song is PERFECT the way it is. Therefore it's a 10!

I agree. It's a 10.

There is a vague similarity between Jimi's break on this one and George Harrison's on "Don't Bring Me Down." Oh, no. Was George plagiarizing again? (Joke. See the thread on the Dandy Warhols' "Godless.")

Love Jimi's work.  OK, I gave it an 8 since it IS "most excellent."

Of course it's a 9. It says so near the top of the page. Look, right there after the words "Avg. Rating." See?

The world is full of mundane "artists" and their efforts, truly talented artists like Jimi Hendrix, Mozart and Schubert are a brilliant light in that unfortunately burns out much more quickly than we'd ever hope.

Only thing that keeps it from a 10 is the inundation factor. Hey, has nothing to do with the quality of the song, it is just human nature. I did give it a 9 BTW, have always loved it.

I think there is a big difference, actually.  Jimi's guitar solos — especially on ballads like this tune, Red House, and Hey Joe, for example — are lyrical ... like someone singing. 

On the very early ZZ Top albums (OK, maybe only on Rio Grande Mud or "Rough Boy") Billy Gibbons has some lyrical solos.  But almost the entire ZZ Top body of work has Mr. Gibbons whacking out blues-based licks rather than lyrical solos.  He plays those blues licks and power chords very, very well, perhaps better than anyone, but it's a different approach entirely.

Just my opinion, of course.

I mean, set aside Jimi's trippy "electric gypsy" persona and all the hippy stuff. Jimi's best is just plain great music, played very well.

It's not quantum physics or the Mayan Codices. That's all I'm saying. {#Wave}
 
Acutally, I think Jimi name-dropped Mr. Gibbons on some TV show years ago.
