| The Jimi Hendrix Experience – Third Stone From The Sun Lyrics | 20 years ago |
|
The line about never hearing surf music again was actually a dedication to surf guitar king Dick Dale, who was dying of cancer (but didn't die and later covered the song , dedicating it to Jimi). quote from Dale - "Jimi dedicated this song to me when I was sying of cancer. That's where the quote 'You'll never hear surf music again' comes from. For a while, Hendrix was backing up Little Richard in a bar in Padasena. He came to my live shows. Listen to his guitar slides; he said he patterned his style after me, after watching me blow up amplifiers." |
