Hendrix Is NOT the All-Time Greatest!

As I've said in an earlier post, The Rock Relic will be ... well, a relic (small "r") officially after 1 January. But, already, the vacant position's filled:

Whilst the public is gearing up for the return of The Eagle (my pen from 1986-2002, all told. Includes the syndi column, a stint at a Christian newspaper here in Ashland, two papers I published, three years online and a par-trihidge in a pearrrr treeee ...), I just plugged it in to suit my musical side and affairs (including blogs) -- thus, the ELECTRIC Eagle ...

We'll be covering a lot of territory in twice-weekly posts here from now on ... and some will be controversial, like this:

JIMI HENDRIX IS NOT THE ALL-TIME GREATEST!
What better way to kickstart the new, Eagleised blog than to dispute Rolling Stone™ Magazine's declaration of Jimi Hendrix as the "all-time greatest guitarist."
Now, don't get me wrong: Jimi was one of the most prolific guitarists of the Twentieth Century. But, look -- we have to face facts:

There were thousands of young guitarists who didn't have the credentials of Jimi; in fact, most guitarists of that time remained small-ticket or even unknown outside their home area. A few of these, given the right push, could've rivalled Hendrix!
And to say he was the greatest of all-time disqualifies legends like Les Paul, T-Bone Walker and modern-day greats such as Joe Satriani, Joe Perry, the late Stevie Ray Vaughan and others.
But, most of all, is this thought (shared by reader Eric from Spokane): "Jimmi (sic) Hendrix could not be the best gtrist of all time. Time is not over yet. The Rapture hasn't happend, no huge meteor has hit us, Jesus hasn't come back. So how can any body say he is 'ALL-time' best when "ALL time" isnt finished?"
Think about it, gang ...
Eric's right!
How do we know someone won't come along that'll exceed Hendrix's prowess?? Time isn't over yet ... we're still 98.6 degrees-and-kickin' ... so is it fair to say he's the 'all-time greatest'??
More on this soon ... (I know I've stirred up a little hornet's nest here ...)

PEOPLE IN WHITE COATS

If there's one thing that this little area we call "Ashland" is known for (outside Judds, Cyruses, Woolerys and Superman), it's the number of medical professionals that work here.
And, of course, all of those who work in labs, MRI, Radiology and other areas wear the most recognized apparel of medical personnel -- the lab coat.
But, as with any clothing, these can become victim of wear-and-tear, indelible smudges and stains -- and there'll be a need to buy new coats! You see, it's not just keep up their image but to accommodate their immediate tools, whether stethoscopes or ballpoint pens!
For the best of these -- and at prices that won't dent the wallet -- the pros click on that link you just passed! They'll be able to choose from a variety of styles -- and even have their coats personalized if they'd like!
So, if you (or someone you know) normally wear lab coats at work, why not click that link today for the best wear anywhere?
