Why did Jeff Beck call Jimi a god? Why was Jeff so in awe of Jimi?

Of course.

 

Still, I will tell you that Jeff's music is better.

Also, I am not commenting on grantsmanship.

I am talking solely about the music, itself, and also...

Improvisation, and...

How it hangs together.

 

 

 

If it's so good why don't I hear it ever played on the radio? I listen to an oldies channel and neither Beck nor Hendrix ever get played on it.

 

I suspect it's connected to excessive consumption of illegal substances when young and foolish.

NO.

It's because EVERYTHING, including music, has continued to be dumbed down, beginning 2.5 decades ago, or longer...ever since the Cat Vids, on YouTube, and even before.

 

For example, nobody knows what JAZZ is...these days.

 

If you ask some young turk what JAZZ is...

They do not know.

 

They think JAZZ is something that it is actually not.

 

The STUPIDITY of youth, today, is horrendous.

 

They know nothing because, 

They are taught to be inquisitive and to investigate the world.
