Jimi Hendrix is an icon- there's no denying it. When it comes to playing guitar, Jimi Hendrix revolutionized the way people saw and played the instrument. From now until the end of time, anyone to ever pick up, or possibly even hear a guitar will know the name Jimi Hendrix. Factor is all the other people who just simply have ears and you know a whole Noah's Ark boatload of people know the man, the myth and the legend Jimi Hendrix. That, my friends, is immortality.
I could delve into all of the things that makes Hendrix arguably the greatest guitar player of all time but that would only cause reason for argument. What I think is fascinating is comparing African American cultire with the way it has impacted Jimi's life, and ultimately, our lives. For this man who is synonymous with the guitar had a tough path to tread, he ultimately made his dreams a reality.
I find it fascinating the role of African Americans in America. I'm sure we all know about slavery. This hunger made some individuals so

Jimi was a rockstar. Africans gave America a nice twist, that Pat Boone shit might've gone on awhile. That said, it's important to note with acts like Jimi, The Beatles, Stones etc, most of their mystique is a result of the innovations in technology at the time. He was a sick guitar player, but he had friends at octavia that were making pedals to tweak his sound. And he translated his style through those tools.
Same for the Beatles, take George Martin and the freedom he gave them to experiment out of the picture and you have a band that may have slipped through the cracks... one cynics opinion

Was supposed to be "Factor in"; it's called a typo and it happens to everyone with hands and a keyboard.

Shut up. Seriously. No one cares. You're not entertaining. Or memorable in any way.
This is the only time I've ever said this to anyone, but you're actually more boring than Dan Tangle.
Kill yourself and your family. Do your part to chlorinate the gene pool.

"I was gonna post the rest of the article but then I wa slike you know what--I'll just post a couple trite paragraphs and then an incendiary comment because I'm exceedingly desperate for attention as you can see by my nine posts this week but I'm also really lazy so I'll just hit submit instead of not posting anything at all which is what I'd do if I *actually* didn't want to engage anyone here zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz"
Nahh I actually was gonna post something I write days ago in its entirety then I remembered I'm at "ubersite" which coincidentally happens to be one of the worse "forums" I have ever visited in my life. So I took those words that I omitted from the above said article and I posted them on a real forum where people actually make sense, and my life has been great ever since!! Do you understand that? Even on the Internet your lame comments don't please people and prove yourself to hold nothing more than a 6th grade vocabulary, now do you see why I just said fuck it? I mean I'm not even gonna edit this post just because I figure any mistakes I make will over serve for clarity purposes on your behalf. Fuck yea!!!

He was a drugged up hippy who molested children. He's being raped in Hell currently, but not in any major level. He's simply not worth that.

I was gonna post the rest of the article but then I wa slike you know what--most people on here only live to criticise things since they live a life of fear and are too afraid to do so in real life. So in the meantime, fuck you.
