text: does anyone here still listen to hendrix , led zep , cream , clapton  or black sabbath??? or am i just an extinct dinosaur that is going to die soon???.........they will play zz top and srv and pink floyd at my funeral whether my family likes it or not. what do i care then, i cant hear them gripe or moan about it. hey, i lived, i partied, i died.let the party go on without me...end of story i still love hendrix, i will never get tired of the band of gypsies from new years eve 1969. some of the most brilliant hendrix guitar playing ever. zz top always makes me smile although i don't listen that much anymore. don't get me wrong, i have most of their older albums. led zeppelin was brilliant, i loved zeppelin i, ii, and iv the most. i need to break some out since you made me think of it. pink floyd did some things that i just loved, "shine on you crazy diamond", "dark side of the moon", "the wall", great albums, genius. i was a hendrix freak when i was younger, then i was exposed to the grateful dead and jerry garcia. so much of that music is so poignant and relevant to me and the way i experience life. i think it will be something in my life forever. in fact, i have had that same thought, about my funeral. i have a couple of grateful dead songs i want played. if you are familiar, i am going to have "brokedown palace" played. it almost makes me cry every time i hear it, a very beautiful piece. i also want to have "sing me back home" played too. i know it isn't a dead original, but i just love to hear jerry's voice on songs like that. i have decided to go back to school for a career change and i am there every day with a bunch of 18-19 year old kids. most have no idea what any of that music sounds like. all they know is hip hop rap or death metal. i often ask myself if i too am a dinosaur. i'm right there with you.
