"Move over Rover, and let Jimi take over."

"Move over Rover, and let Jimi take over."
That to me, is Jimi Hendrix' signature line.

I remember during my college years, hearing that song played at parties, etc and it always had a profound effect on me.  I just picture him with his afro wailing on his guitar and delivering that line.

Many people do not know that Jimi was left handed, but played a right handed guitar.   He just changed the strings.  I feel a kinship with him because we kind of do the same thing.  ie: make do with what we have!

One for the road:
"With a purple umbrella and a fifty cent hat"

I always thought that they were saying "With a purple umbrella and a fifth in hand."

Jimmy
