1) n. Dave Matthews Band song

2) n. Something that helps you relax and pass the time by.

Although some Dave Matthews Band lyrics are open to interpretation, a 'jimi thing' in the context of the song refers to some kind of mind altering substance that helps you relax and get through a dull time.

Dave Matthews on "Jimi Thing": "This is a song about getting high."

Dave Matthews on "Jimi Thing": "In England it's a condom."
Sometimes a jimi thing slides my way and keeps me swinging.

1. By far one of the greatest people who have ever live and not because he was the first widely famous black guitarist.

2. Mastered ever possible guitar technique, including playing a guitar on fire and play it with his teeth.

3. Recorded songs while high on LSD's and Purple Haze.
By far one of the greatest men in the music industry, no one is as good as him and no one ever will be, fuck Slash, fuck Van Halen and any other fucking turdburgler who picked up a guitar and thought they will ever be as good as him.

Some Hits:
1. Purple Haze
2. Manic Depression
3. Foxy Lady
4. Star Spangled Banner (with his teeth)
5. Easy Rider
6. Are you Experienced?
7. Can you see me?
8. Fire
9. I Don't live today
10. Stone Free

Just to begin with...

The man who created the ultimate soundtrack for the climax of the time that reshaped our nation into what it is today, namely the revolution of the 60's. maybe he wasn't the cleanest guitarist, maybe he wasn't always the crispest most perfect musician out there, but by god he played with more feeling than clapton or slash or anyone else ever will(not that i dislike them, clapton's definitely up there). and you can't say that he couldn't play the same things as them, he easily could with practice, like they had time to practice. he employed the imperfections and extra sounds and turned all the slip-ups he made into some sort of lick or effect. the amazing thing about jimi is that he made up on the spot some of the most difficult and influential licks in the history of music. there is absolutely no way around the fact that he is the greatest guitarist, even if he isn't the most perfect. That's why we'll travel by my dragonfly.
