Keets:

It's never been done WELL, and I am such an optimist I'd imagine that PT
would do it right, finally. He should let me do a treatment; I guarantee it
would be the best movie of the year.

Besides, the subject of what will most probably be the biggest movie of the
year hasn't been "done to death?" I know George Lucas doesn't think so, but
he could be wrong about that!

Exactly!

Not that kind of Dance Music, which has its roots in Disco. That is not to
say you can't dance to Rock music.

Right. Conan's no Dan Rather.

I think he's right.

I believe it's generally accepted that KWS, SRV, and JL are all Blues
artists. I'm not going to try to define Blues for you; it's something you
should be able to hear. Rock N Roll and later Rock came from Blues, so
there are similar aspects, but it is NOT the same thing.

> And Hendrix did Townshend.  Everybody has to build on something.

Granted, but how many Who songs did Hendrix do? These guys are doing
Hendrix songs.
