Maybe more surprisingly, the list includes four Beatles’ numbers: Ticket to Ride, I Feel [...]
So we screwed you last week since Stamos got lazy. Now, we’ll make it up to you with a double dose. Last Friday was Duane Allman’s birthdayt, and today is Jimi Hendrix- two of the best axe-men to ever finger a fret. Enjoy.
That guitarist at the back, on the left? Next to the drummer? That's Jimi Hendrix, that is. The earliest known footage of the man: live in 1965, playing behind Buddy & Stacey - whose career was destined to head in...

I soon realized that in the course of the previous discussion on pop, I omitted an important predilection of mine that happens to come from the pop world, that being Jimi Hendrix.

I'd venture that Hendrix's appeal is almost as universal as The Beatles', and also that it's more universal than the Beatles' among people who also...
By: Ron Hart It's too easy to become jaded with Nirvana, especially if you went to high school or college during the short period they ruled the world in the early 1990s. The rampant manufacturing of Kurt Cobain's image and legacy by mainstream America has been nauseatingly on par with that of Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix, and Jim Morrison (all of whom also died at the age of 27yes, yes we all know)....

A few years ago I ran into the concept of a mondegreen, which is usually defined as a mis-heard line in a song. The most commonly cited examples include "there's a bathroom on the right," as a mis-hearing of CCR's "there's a bad moon on the rise" and "s'cuse me while I kiss this guy" rather than Jimi Hendrix's original "s'cuse me while I kiss the sky." Thanks...

But a couple of homebrewers from Monmouth County's bayshore turned in an oyster stout four months ago. Shucks, that's a couple months before FF folks officially tipped their hand about where and what the next Exit Series beer would be. Bill Comella of Highlands says he likes FF's Exit 1 Bayshore Oyster...
