Maybe that is because most people that listen to country music are white supremacist and members of the ku klux klan?

Hmm? I love Cab Calloway, and John Coltrane, and Gil Scott-Heron, and Barry White. I just don't like Hendrix. To be fair, I'm not really a fan of much rock from the 60's. I did say he was better than the Beatles.

Hey now. I like me some country and I'm only slightly racist.

Why should I have to be country to think that gun kicks ass?

Just call it intuition and I knew you'd take the bait.

Good bad or indifferent he will remain one of the cultural icons of rock for the rest of time. Having said that Jim brought a unique style to rock at that time and although just like any other artist I don't like all of his songs there are enough quality ones to drown out the bad ones in my opinion.

It's like Smoke on The Water. Okay, so forget that fact that it's the first thing you can play on the guitar and it's by Deep Purple and mentions Frank Zappa, and listen to it again. It's a terrible song.
I think that one messy part was suppose to sound like a mess, Jimi was imitating bombs soaring through the air and blowing up on his guitar.
