only one really important date in the history of music as far as I'm concerned - and that's the release of "Purple Haze"

there's "music before Purple Haze" and "music afterwards"

did you know that when they recorded "the wind cries Mary", JMH played half the sond through for the other two and then they went into the studio and recorded it. Job done.

"the traffic lights turn blue tomorrow" - probably the best lyric ever
