This song just rocks so hard. Re-discovered it this summer on the way back from a camping trip to the Maryland National Seashore with a couple friends. Obviously had to listen to it 4 times in a row. Obviously had to play air-guitar and butcher the lyrics.

Hendrix is quintisential high-school listening. But this album (Axis: Bold as Love) is so underrated. Released after Are You Experienced, this disk is full of classics ('Little Wing', 'Castles Made of Sand').

The world is getting confused. Zeitgeists are contradicting themselves and angles are getting sharper and sharper and so on and so forth. Things are turning out to be exactly the opposite of what you originally thought. But what can you do? 'Wave on, wave on...' Let it be. Just get whimsical and do your thing.
