I grew up in the sixties. Nobody “segregated” Jimi more than the black community. You couldn’t pay them to listen to him. It wasn’t “black” enough for them.
Now that he’s recognized for the influential muscician that he was they want to claim him.
If a Jazz station refused to play Rap, would that be racist?

I think the better question would be “ if a rap station refused to play classical music or country, would that be racist?”
Eddie jobson was amazing saw him twice with UK
I go one way or the other. Currently Elvis remix stuff. Before that The Who, Before that Ennio Moricone. Always some AC/DC they are underatted. Queen is good big Brian May fan just because he is also good at astronomy. Got stuck on Mozart few years ago. Heard a saxophone piece today not Aker Bilk Stranger on a Shore but close need to track it down. Be advised I can’t carry a tune or keep a beat on a bongo. Did I mention Tchaikovsky.
it was a weird time, how did Elvis become king?
Johann Sebastian Bach would like a word...
Poor Laura passed while young. She had talent.
Far out, man!
Good stuff.
The Salty Dog.
I’ll bet Voodoo Child would sound amazing if performed with a full orchestra. I’d love to hear that one.
oh my! imagine the harmonic’s
I love Vitamin String Quartet’s takes on different heavy metal songs. They’ve done Iron Maiden, Guns N Roses, many others.
And conversely, classical compositions performed by metal bands are a blast.
Man-o-War’s Sting of the Bumblebee is so much fun to listen to.

I agree.
To be fair to Nigel, its like asking Andy Williams to only sing Moon River. “Garden Party” moment.
I swear I hear Pink Floyd in Puccini’s Tosca
I saw the Williams bothers and Lucinda, she was magnificent, they were doin it
Only a totally inept musician would not understand that classic 60s hard rock is NOT classical music.
“needs more cowbell...”
Lol, That was the funnest music skit I ever saw. Christopher Walken said it messed up his career. lol
For those who have not seen it... It is a must.
So, what is he, a jukebox?
