Random notes from the web
October 31st, 2003, 7:31pm by JakeOK, I somehow stumbled on this and thought it was kinda funny. On this guy’s website, he displays one of his favorite quotes:
“All I got is a Red Guitar…
Three chords… and the Truth
All I got is a Red Guitar…
And the rest is up to YOU!”
– Jimi Hendrix, “All Along the Watchtower”
Which is funny on a number of levels: 1) Bob Dylan wrote “All Along the Watchtower.” Hendrix, of course, recorded the definitive version, 2) The part being quoted was an ad-lib inserted by Bono (correct me if I’m wrong) U2’s live version, and Hendrix never even sang those words.
