Digging on Jimi
December 3, 1999
Okay -- I actually wrote it last night...
Tell me I was hallucinating. Maybe it was just a sympathy flashback. Did I actually hear what I think I heard? I was showering, and the water was running with that splashy spray that showers get, all high pitched and splattery. Maybe the sound echoed off the plastic enough that I just miss heard? But I swear I heard the radio news person say that relatives of Jimi Hendrix are planning to dig brother Jimi out of the ground and put him on display. Somebody. Anybody. Please. Tell me I'm wrong. On the other hand, I'm wondering if this isn't something Geraldo ought to be into. I mean, he's got a real history with opening places up that haven't seen light of day. Think about it. If Jimi's grave is unearthed, maybe we'll be surprised and instead find Jim Morrison (thereby dispelling all the Mr. Mojo-risin' theories). Maybe they'll just see a thin Purple Haze drift into the Red House in the sky. Or maybe Jimi will just be Stone Free. Seriously, tough. Jimi had a tough enough time of it when he was alive. Can't a guy rest? Somebody tell me I heard wrong. Please.   Have a good one. Many Thanks to Shannon Wendt for her award   Yeah, I was a Jimi fan. Weren't we all? Daily Persistence is © Ron Collins |
