Thank goodness I'm back to lighthearted blogs. I just had an experience I feel the need to share because it put a smile on my face and gave me a slight ego-boost( like I really needed one of those ha ha). Purple haze
Background information: When I was little and Jimi Hendrix's song Purple Haze would come on the radio I would always sing along. Well I had always sung the lyrics "'Scuse me while I kiss the sky" as "'Scuse me while I kiss this guy" because that is honestly what i though he was saying. Well after a few years when I got into Hendrix's stuff I found out I had been wrong. But come on, you know how I could have made the mistake.
Fast forward to today: I was listening to disc three for the first time from my Hendrix box set i got for Christmas. Well a live version of Purple Haze comes on and I'm not paying a lot of attention, but I heard something that made me rewind back to that part to listen to it again with full concentrarion. No doubt about it. In that live version Hendrix clearly says "Acting funny and I don't know why, 'Scuse me while I kiss that guy." I was flabbergasted to say the least. I made my parents listen to it, and they agreed. So I've been right all along. SO maybe it's not in the recorded version, but it is there. Damn. The lovely Mr. Hendrix never ceases to please.
