I just don't get it.

Let me first attach my body armour.

Jimi is idolized cause he's dead. People worship him for some reason.I personally have no respect for the man, besides the fact that he was decent guitar player.

He was a hypocrit. He said things like "I'm all about peace and love" than, would beat women with bricks because they went to Noel's hotel room instead of his.

I also look up to the right people, like my father. Not some hippy who killed himself in his 20's on drugs-that's the kind of person kids worship...geez.

My 2 cents.
