You know Drew, You seem to be stuck like a broken record. Hendrix this,
Hendrix That.  Jimi WAS a great guitarist.  However, he killed himself
with drugs.  In the words of S.O.D.'s "The Ballad of Jimi Hendrix, "
You're Dead".  
	He was a guitar hero, yet he did not survive.  Who knows he could have
put out crappy albums and maybe even gone Disco.  We will never know. 
Why? Because he's DEAD.  I may idolize his playing but not his personal
life.
	Pete on the other hand, managed to survive it all and continues to play
great shows and amaze young people, like my 22 year old self.
I at one time thought Hendrix was who to idolize.  Now it's Pete.  Don't
get me wrong, I love Hendrix's music.  However,Pete's music,energy,
Lyrics, and persona, along with his ability to make people laugh and
enjoy his music for 32 years is something respect.
	Also by the way, Paul is left-handed like Hendrix, you stupid fuck.
That's why he plays the guitar upside down.  Right HAnded guitars are
cheaper(and easier to get) thatn left handed ones. PAul has been playing
that way years before hendrix did.  If you look in Anthology 2 on p. 8
you will see a picture of Paul playing guitar in 1965.  It's upside
down, Just like Jimi. Who came along 2 years later. Playing upside down
is nothing new for left handers.
	Also who covered who?  Listen to Hendrix at Radio One (Ryko).  Hendrix
covers Day Tripper. If he respected them, so should you.  Bands can
peacefully co-exist in the world of fandom.

	SO BEFORE YOU DISS THE BEATLES AND RUN OFF AT THE KEYBOARD, LEARN YOUR
MUSIC HISTORY.

Signed one Hendrix, Who, Zeppelin, Aerosmith, U2, Police, Zappa, Pink
Floyd, Stones, and Beatles Fan,
