If a genie told me that I could either
Be like Hendrix
Or
Play like Hendrix.
You would have to choose the guitar talent.
The only reason someone that weird, with such weird perspectives,, The only reason his words ever made it into your ears,
Was because of talent.
Not product or merchandise.
Nothing tangible.
If he didn’t have those hands?
He would be one of those homeless people you walked beside, trying to stay out of the rain.
People aren’t very nice to weirdos.
(and rightfully so)
Cautious.
