Was listening to a play list and on came Smells Like Teen Spirit. It got me thinking. Then the next song was All Along

Thats how Im leaning. The opposite of Hendrix

Mar 28, 10:35am

Oh man. Hendrix wrote some incredible songs

IMO part of the appeal was that he wasn’t a great guitar player. Part of the DIY

Nirvana is one of the most overrated bands of all time. Pearl Jam was far better

Chains had the better grunge sound, Vedder better singer

Two great songs,I wouldn’t put Cobain in the class of Hendrix,it’s just sad they both passed away so young.

I think early deaths of celebrities tend to enhance their reputation.

One of the great song writers of my lifetime. If he had lived, I'm sure he would
