i choose to believe otherwise. ha!\
The tracking session (9:00 minutes of out-takes) for “Third Stone from
the Sun” was released on the big fuzzy purple Hendrix box set (2000)
Right after Hendrix says “you’ll never hear surf music again…”
HE SAYS: “sounds like a lie to me” and he giggles and guffaws
The released version of “Third Stone” only painted half the picture
and makes it appear as if Hendrix is some sort of anti-surf soothsayer
(say that 3 times fast)
I think Dick Dale might be on a few hallucinogens himself if he
thinks Hendrix was refering to a surgery he (Dale) was having.
After all (like Hendrix) Dale might be prone to exaggeration.
