Jimi Hendrix could play that rock'n'roll.
I used to be singin' rock'n'roll.

:26:22
Be gone! He'd have that thing just
rompin' and tompin' all up under my toes!

:26:28
At times he used to make my big toe
shoot up in my boot.

:26:33
He did it so good! He give it all to you!
:26:36
And that's what you want,
you want it all or none.

:26:39
I don't know why we went there.
It was a place I didn't usually go to...

:26:44
...but we went this night, and it was
a huge, enormous place like a ballroom.

:26:49
Very few people there, and a sort of
regular band playing not very well.

:26:54
At least, I didn't take any interest
in the band at all.

:26:58
And then suddenly I saw
the guitar player...

:27:01
...who was playing really quite discreetly
in the back row.

:27:10
And from that moment
I just became completely involved.

:27:14
He was very naive
and very shy and nervous.

:27:19
He didn't look at you when he spoke
to you.

:27:23
And he came back to the apartment...
:27:27
...and played a lot of Dylan...
:27:29
...who Jimi idolized.
:27:32
He thought Dylan was the greatest.
:27:33
I said, "Man, you'd better tell me
who you spent our last $5 on."

:27:37
He wouldn't tell me nothin'.
He just kept flashin' the thing.

:27:41
And then he finally took it out of the bag.
:27:44
He still wouldn't let me read it...
:27:46
...but he was readin' some of the things
it said to me, up in the air like this.

:27:51
I didn't recognize anything he said anyway,
so I pretended I didn't give a shit.

:27:55
I went to the bedroom,
and he came in and told me...

:27:57
...it was Bob Dylan, you know.
I said, "Bob who?"
