Lyric discussion by killingFloor 

please no vietnam. two reason:

  1. not every song written in the sisties is about vietnam. why can't a song be a normal song without any hidden meaning?
  2. hendrix didn't write this song. the copyrights of this song are owned by Billy Roberts (never heard) who seemed to write this song in 1962. (check heyjoe.org/lyrics.html)

however, if this is true, we must recognize the great contribution of Hendrix. surely the arrangement of this song (as in other covers he did) is extraordinary. i don't think the original version (or any other cover) are better than hendrix one. so i consider Jimi Hendrix as the King Mida of Rock and Guitar.
