Single-handedly solving nothing

My Life Is A Song #46

Shirthead Countdown #46

Whether  standing atop the watchtower reaching for the purple haze or wondering if you’re experienced enough to approach the foxy lady dancing like a voodoo chile alone on the dance floor, everybody loves Jimi Hendrix.  My wife clearly does.  I know; Hendrix and Van Halen, who’d a thunk.

I don’t have a great or even mediocre story to share regarding this song.  It’s simply my favourite Hendrix song.  I’m a fan, but hardly an aficionado.  I appreciate his legend but the cynic in me wonders what horrors he might have recorded had he been born with whatever freak genes Keith Richards has.

Once I got past the “Purple Haze” and “Hey Joe” lust period when first introduced to Hendrix, I quickly found that this was by far my favourite tune.  I’m kicking off this weekend with “Crosstown Traffic” from the legendary 1968 Jimi Hendrix Experience album Electric Ladyland.
