True... While Hendrix is a legend, I don't know if Ted rates as a mere footnote... Hendrix was a true innovator. As a guitar player he was the "first" to do certain things with the electric guitar. Eddie Van Halen did the very same thing. That said, I'd rather be Ted than Jimi! LOL How about you?

BTW: Interesting handle, "Lana Turner Overdrive". Are you a BTO fan? I sure am. :-)

My point is this; Hendrix was special. He, like Charlie Parker and Bruce Lee, was able to tap into “the other side.” And I'm not talking about drugs. When Hendrix played the Star Spangled Banner at Woodstock, the guitar version of that song belonged to him forever. There is a reason why you've never heard any self-respecting guitar player play it since. Ted Nugent, by doing so, proved himself to be a chump, a tool and an idiot. And I grew up loving Nugent. He would have been wise to pick another patriotic song to play as his contribution for the event.
