I think a person had to be high on dope to appreciate his so called music. I rate that crap in the same toilet as Janis Joplin’s screeching.

I suggest you drop some acid (3 microdots) and try again...let me know if your opinion changes.

Bite your tongue.

"Dolly Dagger" by Jimi Hendrix

Here comes Dolly Dagger
Her love's so heavy, gonna make you stagger
Dolly Dagger, she drinks her blood from a jagged edge
(Drink up, baby)

Been riding broomsticks since she was fifteen
Blow out all the other witches on the scene
She got a bull whip, just as long as your life
Her tongue can even scratch the soul out of the devil's wife
Well, I seen her in action at the Player's Choice
Turning all the love men into donut boys
Hey, red hot momma, you'd better step aside
This chick's gonna turn you to a block of ice
Look out

Here comes Dolly Dagger
Her love's so strong gonna make you stagger, baby
Dolly Dagger
She drinks the blood from a jagged edge
Right on
Drink up, baby
Hey!

Yeah, look at old burnt-out Superman
Tryin' to shoot his dust on the sun
Captain Comic is the man on the run
On the words of love
Do they ever touch Dolly Brown?
Better get in some highway and clear outta town

Here comes Dolly Dagger
Her love's so heavy, gonna make you stagger
Dolly Dagger
She ain't satisfied 'til she gets what she's after
She drinks the blood from the jagged edge
Better watch out, baby, here comes your master
Alright
Watch out there, baby
Gonna give a little bit of that

Dolly, heavy mama
Get it on, get it on, get it on
Dolly, heavy mama
Get it on, get it on, get it on
Dolly, heavy mama
Get it on, get it on, get it on
Dolly, heavy mama
Get it on, get it on, get it on, get it on
Get it on, get it on, get it on, get it on
Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
Yeah, yeah, yeah...

i agree..Hendrix himself stopped doing the “pyschadelic” stuff at the time he died.

You’re not alone. I turn the channel every time they play his music on the radio.

“I think a person had to be high on dope to appreciate his so called music.”

There is always a different thought on the sound versus the ability to play it. I didn’t like his music as much as his ability on the instrument. And the legend added to it is that he didn’t play a left handed guitar, he turned a right handed one over so the low E string was at the bottom of the neck and not the top when being played. So all of the fingerings would be upside down and fingered totally opposite. That would be like playing a piano with the high notes to your left and the black keys towards you in the front of the ivories. Figure that one out.

I must respectfully disagree.

I read that there is no universally accepted piece of writing. That must apply to music, also.

Jimi Hendrix was a gift to popular music. As Al Kooper said: “Jimi Hendrix brought out the sounds that were there all along in the guitar but waited for him to uncover them.”

A genius. One of a kind. A pioneer. Irreplaceable.

Well..you know what they say about opinions. I thought he was awesome and he inspired a hell of a lot of guitarist.
