I would like to tell all Jimi fans about a great South African band
called 'The Band Of Gypsies'. They are amazing. They have been together
since the early 60'ies and rock like no other band can. They released
their first CD about a year and a half ago, plainly because they have
always been too down on the earth to worry about being great superstars.
These guys are for real.
Me and a couple of friend have this theory - We think that Jimi came to
South Africa in his former years, and checked this band out. He liked
them very much, took all their songs and name and became famous with it.
Really, 'Hey Joe' is done like no-one can believe by these guys. The
lead guitarist plays better with his teeth than Jimi could dream of
playing with both his hands. I do love Jimi, but these guys are GODS!!!

Ha ha, funny. Let me guess... You don't have Hendrix's "Band of
Gypsys" album, do you?

He means A Band of Chimpanzees featuring Lancelot Link on guitar and Mata Hari
on vocals.

This is like saying "I can play ten times better than Jimi Hendrix and even
while doing somersaults"... everybody would know that it's all bs.

Will I live tomorrow? Well, I just can't say.
...But I know for sure that I don't live today
