What's with all of these people who think rock n roll should be this ridiculously strict institution?
I won't say anything bad about Hendrix because 1) it's an unwritten rule that you can't and 2) because of what he did for Rock and Roll and the influence he had. That said I just choose not to listen much.. Every now and then I'll give Hendrix a listen.

Rock n Roll is all about expressing yourself, which is all well and good. But if you want to express yourself, play guitar. Not the fucking drums.
