That spirituality think really works. I spent 30 years on drugs, now I am (relatively) drug free and going back to school.

The university is where the hottest chicks and the best drugs are.

Why do you think they call it 'higher' learning?

I am older than their parents and don't really need drugs.

If Hendrix had never done acid, would he still have been Hendrix?

It's fascinating because so many people declare it a beautiful masterpiece when (IMO) it's one of the most defiant, angry renditions of that song ever performed.

It captured the state of the union from the counter culture perspective at that moment in time. I don't consider it all that beautiful.

Yep, and to quoth Wikipedia:

Quote:

This had an important effect on his guitar sound: because of the slant of the Strat's bridge pickup, his lowest string had a bright sound while his highest string had a mellow sound, the opposite of the Stratocaster's intended design

I've seen people play lefty guitars right-handed to get the same effect on their tone.
