**Jetblast** , consider yourself warned for being a jerk. SDMB users are not allowed to wish death on each other and I have lost patience with your sneering. This thread is closed.

I heard part of the album for the first time last night, and I have to say I didn’t think about this thread for more than half a second. Hendrix’s music endures, this exercise in nonsense will be forgotten. Soon.
