PURPLE HAZE

Had he not died at 27, Jimi Hendrix would have been 60 today. Speculation has it that he would be a personnel manager at a Wal Mart in Tucson.

Geez, Don, make me feel OLD. I am waiting for the response/post here that asks you who is Jimmi Hendrix and what is purple haze? Then I'm heading to my rocking chair. I did once pass within 50 feet of him. He was surrounded by body guards and had beautiful women of every color with him. .2 on each arm. It was an experience.

I would hate for this to get out, but, I actually sat in a 'seyance' (how do you spell that?) once trying to bring Jimi Hendrix back to life. Must have been the Ripple.

I might disagree with your initial comment, though. My version would look more like this: "Had he not died at 27, Jimi Hendrix would have died at 28."

Seance - not that I've been to one.

Do you feel a kinship with Santa? He might have the same explanation for losing his pants.

Jimi isn't dead, he's in Dallas with Elvis and Bob Marley! Great musicians never die, they go into the rockstar protection program.

Don, you really know how to hurt a guy. 60? Are you sure your math is right? I think it's time for you to join Paul at the beach. Now that's a picture!

Hey, I'm not the one obsessing about the math; I'm just recalling the guitar. If he died in 70 at 28 that makes him 60. Sittin' on a Harley in Dallas with Elvis in the sidecar.

Don't forget Janis (Joplin) is probably following them in her Mercedes Benz (provided the Lord bought her one!)

The next time I read about sexual-orientation discrimination, I'll think of Jimi singing that song ... "Scuse Me While I Kiss This Guy." x:-/

Columbian Gold, correctly rolled, so I'm told, did strange things with inhibition hold. Can that be put to music?

Today's radio news advises of the death of John Sebastian, lead guitarist for The Lovin' Spoonful, at age 58. I think his real last name was something like Valunoski. Another great joins the heavenly band.
