Now let's not all jump down Marcel Simon's throat over this comparison.
Within a limited scope he makes a point, but I question whether it has
any significance.  In fact I shudder to see Hendrix's name in the same
sentence with Pr{mmmph}, the recent media product.  Yes, the current sex-
god has an appeal which translates into $$$s to the lowest common
denominator, but in almost any other context it is shere blasphemy to
compare them.  The rest of the world still hasn't caught up to Jimi, fifteen
years after his death.

By the way the album (bootleg & import) which features Hendrix and Johnny
Winter usually goa
-goes by the name of "Woke Up One Morning and Found Myself Dead".  It also
has Buddy Miles on drums and a very drunk Jim Morrison singing a few
perverse vocals.  Any Hendrix fan has to hear this "Red House".
