my yellow in this case is not so mellow, in fact i'm trying to say, it's frightened like me

jimi hendrix was good. he still is; I get why his reputation is so mighty. I just can't get into his stuff. I try though, I swear. I try. it's not that he's inaccessible. it's just...I can't become immersed; I can't become submerged in his particular holy waters. if artists are supposed to meet their audience halfway, then I, for whatever reason, find myself reaching too far. it's not your fault, jimi, I swear. I wish I could let you melt my face as much as you'd like to. when it comes to my heart, I guess, neil young and bob dylan already have it stolen.
