“There is the recollection of one Peter Townsend (The Who) when working aliong-side Jimi Hendricks in a neighboring London studio. Hendricks just simply made his guitar go through several “tricks” that Townsend could not reproduce and Peter says, the message was...don’t f*** with me because I (Jimi) am levels better than you. Townsend was severly humbled.”

Yes, but when it came to song writing and lyrics, nobody was better than Townshend. But I get your point; Townshend knew the better man when it came to playing guitar. 0bama has no clue that he is being totally dissed and humiliated by Putin. Not only is 0bama an incompetent fool, an empty suit used as a tool by others, he is the worst kind of fool.

The fool who doesn’t realize he’s a fool.

Which is why when Townshend went solo in 80s, he used David Gilmour.

Yes, but one his lyrics that I loved in my youth now scares the hell out of me:

“We'll be fighting in the street, with our children at our feet, and the morals that we worshiped will be gone.”

Now it hits TOO close to home.

When it comes to “better” in music, you can be talking about two different things - technical proficiency or the appeal of the music. Hendrix was probably better technically than most rock guitarists, but well down on my list of who I liked to listen to.
