Frequently our culture venerates dead musicians mostly because they're dead. Jimi actually deserves the post-mortem respect he recieves.

Play on, play on... | He died 2 months before I was born. Um...I was born on Nov 22nd-7 years after JFK was killed. I think 7 years..1963, right?

I just thought, bummer.
