Still, I've gotta stay w/ the original--that wah-wah pedal, plus that bemused quality of the narrator really frames it. Lets us read into the song our own events, perspectives, in ways the straight-away covers don't. Hope y'all do some more Hendrix (maybe link up to some Black Rock Coalition artists for us).
