   I’d say Hendrix was a level above Winter and I can find you a hundred professional guitarists who would agree.

   Artists judging other artists?
   Sorry,…they are the last ones whose opinion I would pay attention to.

   But then taste in music is also subjective, so which is “better” is more a matter of opinion than anything else.

   Exactly.

   Many artists were stark raving luntics, drug users, or drunks. I don’t know why that is true but it is.

   The traits that produce intense creativity, also have ugly side effects. Depression, ADD, bipolar, etc people tend to be intensely creative (sometimes only in spurts).
   Once, during a month-long bout with depression, I wrote 70 songs.

   How about taking a bold stance by removing your children from state-run education?

   Currently looking into doing that. Well, not removing, since my son has never darkened the doors of a public school.
   Public school was not kind to this ADDer, and my son has many of the same issues I did. Many of the problems I face today are the result of my 7 years of gov’t education before transferring to a Christian school. I would send him to that one, but it closed a couple of years ago.

   That and with the indoctrination going on (which will only get worse) I’m not entrusting my offspring to those losers.

   Can some one please explain howhe isa role model for education?

   A lot of inner city kids don’t know their father so maybe that has something to do with it? Of course you’re right to bring up the vocational art versus academia art question. But, regardless, hard work is required to excel so just getting a kid to work hard at anything ain’t all that bad. Plus, and I don’t think they know exactly why just yet, kids who learn to play an instrument in elementary school tend to do better in math and science later. My flight instructor swears that it makes better fliers too; he asked me what instrument I played on my 2nd flying lesson.

   However, being dead is a more important qualification for the libs to consider so they don’t have to worry if the person agrees to act as a model for them or worry that the person might embarrass them later. Look at how libs cured Christopher Reeves with embryonic stem cells – after he was dead. He rose up and walked again in the NYT! Libs work so much better with the dead than the living…

   The real insult here is that the Hendrix estate allowed his name and image to be used in such an imbecilic manner.

   agree with that sentiment #102…of course it wouldn’t be the first time that someone’s image/name have been used “without” permission….remember the dear leader photos that weren’t quit legal to use??

   Here is my first suggestion for “education reform”: BRING BACK THE PADDLE!
   Thinking back on my own school daze, THE PADDLE was the most dreaded (and talked-about) punishment. “Did you hear…Johnny got THE PADDLE?!”

   Need to correct Post #19.
   Hendrix was in the Army and served with the 101st Airborne, but he did not serve in Vietnam.
