I don’t care, I don’t care, said Jimi

Some days are just meant for a meaningful tune. The problem is, I am not sure why the tune I think of, Jimi Hendrix’s “If 6 Was 9” is so meaningful. I think to myself why is it meaningful to me?

 “If the sun refuse to shine

I don’t mind, I don’t mind …

If the mountains, fell in the sea

let it be, it ain’t me

Alright, ‘cos I got my own world to look through

And I ain’t gonna copy you.”

Okay. But here I am and why am I copying Jimi? Ya dig?

” If 6 turned out to be 9

I don’t mind, I don’t mind

If all the hippies

Cut off all their hair

I don’t care, I don’t care … “

It is a quirky song that is simple in its lyrics. The form and fashion of a loud grinding hard rock song pounded out on guitar by a young black dude who had no equal. No copy.

It’s just a simple thought of a song that is simple in its lyrics but it is, like, heavy. Ya dig?

“Sing on brother, play on drummer.”
