95 for content. 97 for expression. Nice.

I have no idea the last time I listened to a Hendrix album. And I like his music.

For me, he has always been one of those guys that was always there. Like, I know a lot of his stuff, and have never owned my own copy of a Jimi Hendrix album.

The Star Spangled Banner thing has always been a favorite rock and roll moment of mine, though.

When I interviewed Richard Lloyd (Television, Matthew Sweet), he told me a story about how, when he was a teenager, he got decked by Hendrix. Apparently Jimi was a friend of a friend. I just loved that image of the greatest guitar player ever knocking another one of my favorite guitarists flat on his ass.

Any rate... my favorite has always been Axis: Bold As Love. And "Little Wing" ends about 5 minutes too soon! The more I listen to him, the more I appreciate how brilliant he was.

And to repeat myself (who, me?!?!) he is one of the most underrated songwriters of the rock era. Easily up there with Lennon/McCartney and Dylan. So great.


Okay, so I never got the WHOLE story until a couple of years ago. It's a good one.
Here it is.

Richard Lloyd seem like a grade-a asshole. Wow.

Listening to Disraeli Gears and Axis in class today. I prefer Are You Experienced. But really I prefer Magical Mystery Tour. 67 was stupid good.

Axis was the first in my ears, and thus first in my heart.
