I was shocked and amazed the first time I heard the Bob Dylan version of "All Along the Watchtower". I lost my "All" Dylan virginity when I bought John Wesley on vinyl for a dollar at Granny's Attic last year. I about crapped my pants. OK, that may be an exaggeration, but I was taken aback. — BJ

From the album Electric Ladyland

Jimi Hendrix:   Web site   MySpace

DJ comments: Hendrix fuckin' owns this song. — cwc

Can you say that? Viewer warning -- contains adult material not suitable for children or hymen-owning freshman girls. Wait, there are none of those on campus. — BJ
