Ok, I'm beginning to hate you.

and i know that had to be a treat for you audience to see jimi...wow!

Not only did I see him perform a few times, a friend and I met him on the street one afternoon prior to a performance he was doing that evening at The Cafe Au Go Go in The Village. I actually got to speak to him for a moment and shake his hand.

He was extremely cordial to my partner and I.

...and you'd be gettin' the worst of it.

I couldn't harm a hair on your JP haircut though.

Btw, he's got a song called Hey Baby (New Rising Sun)...



...First Rays of the New Rising Sun

Maybe you'd want to adopt it as your theme music.
You know that, "Every good hero should have some."

Probably the single most underrated musician of all-time. It really is a shame that he's not more well-known than he is, especially considering the tons of people he's influenced. He influenced the Rolling Stones for crying out loud. And how many of their contemporaries (especially white ones) can lay claim to that?

I'd have died to see him. Solo, Flying Burrito Brothers, Byrds, International Submarine Band. Whatever.

Pardon my ignorance but who is this?

Audience was he dressed like he is in pictures? was he taller or shorter than you? how was his hair?

I am in complete agreement. I wish someone would do a good biopic about Parsons and get his name out there again. There was a movie released last year, "Grand Theft Parsons," about the infamous story (to Parsons fans) surrounding his death and the theft of his body, starring Johnny Knoxville. I have it in my NetFlix queue now.

In fact, today, I purchased tickets to the 6th Annual Sleepless Nights Gram Parsons Tribute concert at San Francisco's Great American Music Hall on March 5. I have gone the last two years and it is a blast. http://www.musichallsf.co...30505.html

I can't wait for this year's show.

BTW - I love the scene in Almost Famous when the William Miller character is walking through the hall of the Riot Hyatt on the Sunset Strip looking for Stillwater's suite and looks into a hotel room with the door open. Sitting on the bed with a guitar is an actor portraying Parsons, who is singing with an actress portraying Emmylou Harris. The best part is there are no words exchanged, just a cenimatic tip of the hat to this great talent.
