The most iconic, profound, inventive, masterful and downright best guitar player in the history of music. No one came close to playing guitar like he did. It was never about how fast or how well he played (even though he played exceedingly well). It was about the special connection he made through his guitar and his listeners/audience. In effect, the guitar was to Jimi what Excalibur would have been to King Arthur - A profound expression of the power within one individual. Hendrix did many things that made his music so meaningful. Amongst these he helped to popularize guitar feedback... a technique which was previously undesirable at the time, not to mention playing it with his teeth, executing mind- bending solo's, and even evoking a personality within the instrument itself: for example during his rendition of the Star Spangled Banner, where his guitar echoed the harsh nature of the Vietnam War through sound alone. He created a style of music which even to this day has remained unparalleled, and gave us one of the most awe- inspiring forms of music ever. Some of his most famous songs include Purple Haze, Voodoo Child, and his rendition of All Along the Watchtower. There will never be anyone like him again... and even if you did reach his playing standard, you still wouldn't obtain the expressionism, mind or soul he channelled into every performance. Long live Hendrix... we really could do with another time like yours in this day and age :/
Go watch Jimi Hendrix's version of the Star Spangled Banner on Youtube... and if those last few notes don't send shivers down your spine, then you might as well have no soul...

Get the jiminy christmas mug.Cool movie that started a okay show that ended as it was getting better. A boy genius who invents stuff that does not always work and gets him and the world into deep shit (e.g. aliens kidnap parents, meteorite, evil pants, evil sales/nano robots) and usually ends up saving the day only to do it all over again. Has two funny but weird friends Carl and Sheen, has a funny yet retarded father, Hugh. Rival is Cindy who secretly loves him but picks on him to hide it.
Despite what many people say, this show/movie was NOT rip off of Dexter's lab. The only thing similar is both shows focus on a boy genius. Parents are different, rivals are different and Jimmy has actual friends!
To those who keep complaining about breathing in space, IT'S A FREAKING CARTOON ABOUT A GENIUS KID WHO INVENTS STUFF! GET OVER YOURSELVES!
