Currently enjoying a new CD of Itzhak Perlman doing Mendelssohn: Concerto in E minor and Bruch: Concerto No. 1 in G minor, with the Concertgebouw Orchestra and Bernard Haitink. Sublime!!

I am hoping this isn't a dis on the legendary Hendrix and Marley.
Sorry, but I've always felt both were ridiculously overrated, especially Marley. Just not my cup of tea I suppose. Listening to Bob Marley makes me want to blow my brains out.
For the past two days: nothing but Jimi Hendrix and Bob Marley.
My daughter is a senior in high school, and had to pick two quotes for the yearbook. One was from Jimi Hendrix, the other from Mother Teresa.
Rolling Stone picked Hendrix as the greatest rock guitarist of all time.
They also picked "Like a Rolling Stone" as the best song of all time. That's not even the best Bob Dylan song.
I can't say I agree with everything Rolling Stone writes, but this is one thing I can agree on.
Here's the article, for the interested:http://www.rollingstone.com/news/story/5937559/the_100_greatest_guitarists_of_all_time/
Ugh, I heard "Kung Fu Fighting" on the XM/Sirius 70s station this morning and can't get it out of my mind. It has to be one of dumbest songs to come out of the 70s.
I've always liked it in a Curly Shuffle kind of way.
