She will beat Joplin and Hendrix to the grave.

When I was a teenager I thought Hendrix was supreme, but seeing those performances later, (on you tube now) he was way over rated. His ‘improvisations’ were because he was so stoned he forgot where he was and what song he was playing.

Being high always makes guitar solos AWESOME.

I personally like Brian May and Neal Schon and think they put Hendrix to shame as far as talent goes on a guitar.

You're supposed to be stoned when you listen to them, then they'll be awesome.

Perfect description of the Grateful Dead and their followers....I've never understood the fascination some have with that group.....
