...with which the President has confronted the opposition is formidable indeed. By removing himself from the political scene, he has deprived his opponents of the one aim that all agreed on: opposition to his rule.

King may be the most perfect Blues guitarist alive but his style is of another era. If Blues is to continue to exist it must evolve and Hendrix seems to be leading that revolution. If Rock is to survive it must go back to its roots and again Hndrix is there...
