  1. Hebrew Writing

     

     

     


    Hebrew Writing....... Written across the wall of the cave were the following symbols:

    It was considered a unique find and the writings were said to be at least 3,000 years old!

    The piece of stone was removed, brought to the museum, and archaeologists from around the world came to study the ancient symbols. They held a huge meeting after months of conferences to discuss the meaning of the markings. The president of the society pointed to first drawing and said:

    "This is a woman. We can see these people held women in high esteem.

    You can also tell they were intelligent, as the next symbol is a donkey, so they were smart enough to have animals help them till the soil.

    The next drawing is a shovel, which means they had tools to help them

    Even further proof of their high intelligence is the fish which means that during a famine, they seek food from the sea.

    The last symbol appears to be the Star of David which means they were evidently Hebrews." The audience applauded enthusiastically.

    Then an old Jewish man stood up in the back of the room and said,


    "Idiots... Hebrew is read from right to left... 
    It says: 'Holy mackerel, dig the ass on that chick".

    Just for the record re above posts, I was not including nor implying that Hendrix was in the "over the top" guitar playing group. Perhaps Eddie VanHalen's "style" is more what I was referring to.. Jimmy was always smooth and totally in control and played soulfully and not just "uber fast" simply for the sake of fast... Whatever

     

     

    Alls good bro.  I just put a little history in there that Jimmy and Janice were close friends and played together sometimes.  Janice had a unique voice that was distinctively hers.  She had IMO about at least 4 great songs that set her apart from many in the era.

    No offense, but I always found here 'over the top' voice and mannerisms to be a bit of an act and/or too much of an expression of a near mental illness. 

    That's not my cup of musical tea. If she couldn't stand the heat, perhaps she needed to leave the kitchen and get some help for her booze and drug problems.

    As in "over the top" guitar playing, I've never seen the point of over the top physical performances. Phony as in reality looking for love from or to musicians is not real nor healthy. As said before, I love music but don't really give a rat's ass for musicians (any more than one would have for any artist be it actor, painter, whatever). Their gifts (which they are well rewarded for..) are the art that they can create and not really about themselves...IMHO! Janice made it way too much about herself and her oh so hard life...she perhaps needed to see some of the real hard life's that exist in the world with children who daily die from starvation  and NOKO citizens beaten and worked and starved to death. Apologies to Joplin fans; may she RIP! 

     

    She deserves her place in history.  Her and Jimmy Hendrix were pretty close ,and their music was well accepted back in the times, of Peace, war, love, and the drug culture.  I like her gravely voice, and a few of her songs.  No one IMO could out do her with "Bobby McGee".
