DeLillo and Hendrix.

[Prsamsa at aol.com]

I heartily but respectfully disagree.   Hendrix was a genius-- of studio 
effects, a folk hero, a natural, a leader of rock lyrics into spaces it has 
never gone and will hardly approach again..I'm convinced listening to Ziggy 
Stardust and Electric Ladyland over and over, that my ears can become 
orgasmic, that music speaks louder than words, or at least resounds against a 
different part of the psyche;  that Ziggy Stardust is about Jimi Hendrix, and 
he taught a generation to play, to listen, to dream.
At least my generation.  I'd still rather die than let my mind suffer 
premature sterility.
