Hendrix At Superbowl Halftime?

I mean no diss to Roger and Pete. And sure, the NFL knows us. The Who really were a good call. But how ’bout this for a weird Web/sports tech moment? The New York Times — by chance probably — threw up a photo montage of Woodstock 40 years back. Never mind that milestone was in August of last year. But over the weekend, the NYT tossed up links to an important Who performance from back in they day: The Three Days of Peace and Love and Muck that was Woodstock.
Now, for real, The Who rocked back then. And they rocked over the weekend. But much important to that show was who closed that show: Jimi Hendrix. And to me, thats for a big fat Superbowl “what if.” What if this one true 20th century genius, James Marshall Hendrix, had decided he wasn’t a drunk. Or a junkie. What if he made past 27 and into the 21 century? The NFL would have had to hire him to do halftime. And THAT would have been a heck of a show.
Go ahead. Take a listen on me: The SNW Hendrix at halftime mix. It’s goooooood.
