Jimi Hendrix is my hero, no questions. I own (literally) every single recording the man has ever made. I play "Hear my train a comin'" and "Stone Free" daily on my Strats and Les Pauls.
But I do know that one thing is for sure, ODB deserves as much comment or lack thereof (if hateful) as Jimi did when he died. Not because he was as talented as Jimi, but because he was as human as Jimi was.
SWEET. Do you have any gigs yet?
