Hendrix learned "Sgt. Pepper's Theme" something like 2 days from the album release to him playing it in a concert. And he made Wild Thing his anthem.

I like some Prince despite the "Purple Rain" album. Part of it was overmarketing, part of it was I just don't like those songs ("When Doves Cry" reminds me of cicadas).

The best was Hendrix's letter home, where he advised his parents of how you couldn't be "talented" and still succeed in the rock n'roll biz.

Boy, was he ever on the money on that one.
