Like a Bulldozer that learned to dance
I don’t know if there is even anything to add to Jimi’s legend. You can build it up or tear it down but it remains almost intact, weathering heavy storms even so recently after his death. Some of the reason it’s not much fun to write about Jimi lies in the fact that so much has already been said, but that’s not the only problem.

HENDRIX IN THE WEST JIMI HENDRIX REPRISE
I don’t know if there is even anything to add to Jimi’s legend. You can build it up or tear it down but it remains almost intact, weathering heavy storms even so recently after his death.
Some of the reason it’s not much fun to write about Jimi lies in the fact that so much has already been said, but that’s not the only problem. There was a real schizophrenia .about the man, the difference between being a dazzling star (in the most positive sense of that word you can imagine) and another guitar player, even the best guitar player in the world.
Jimi’s guitar work mattered because he understood electric guitar and electricity better than anyone before or since. He had the kind of comprehension of his instrument that Robert Johnson had of his: he made it human, just as Johnson made blues the source and resolution of human agony. Jimi made technology sing, and he made it sing on his own terms, which matters even more.
