AND ALSO. I am reading commentary on this one thing and wow, I had no idea so many people didn't know that Bob Dylan wrote & recorded All Along the Watchtower before Jimi Hendrix did it. I have no idea why this is annoying me, but it really, really is.

ETA: OH! I was looking at the wiki page and apparently the slide guitar solo [in the Jimi version] between the second and final verses? Done with a CIGARETTE LIGHTER. Holy fucking shit, that man was a genius. So cool.

One more ETA, with feeling: Does anyone out there have "Axis, Bold as Love"? I do not, and it's making me unhappy. Oops, yes I do!

I've never read the liner notes to Rattle & Hum!

Nor did I until tonight, but they're actually obscure. AATWT is not obscure. Also, when I say many people don't know, I mean I observed a lengthy comment discussion about the "Jimi Hendrix Original" before someone stepped up to say, "...uh..." that's what disturbed me, because the population of LJ is such that there were definitely a lot more people reading the conversation than contributing and none of them knew.

Would you call 'Hey Joe' obscure?

Not the song! The composer.

Oh, right, duly noted.

Alright, how about 'Alabama Song'?
