    As a 13 year old a friend of mine had a Jimi Hendrix Record and told me if we play it backwards that they said words. He bought the record from a shop not far from where we lived and we were the only family that still had a record player. So we played the record and I spun it backwards andnothing happened. The kid hung out for a few hours and then left. HE FORGOT TO TAKE THE RECORD WITH HIM.

    Fast forward 2 weeks later and my mom is cleaning and she finds the record on the turntable.......... she goes nuts and begins to tell me that his music is demonic and people used it while doing drugs! She even repeated the fact that playing it backwards and they said demonic stuff. She got her peaceful voice and went and got the bible. She began the ritualistic pre-beating sermon... this time the scripture had to do with those engaging in witchcraft and spiritism... she then read the scripture a father loves those he disciplines... (This was literally the ritual we went through everytime there was a beating)

    She beat the crap out of me and destroyed the record because I refused to tell her I got it from someone because anytime something was brought into the house by someone who was not at the kingdom hall there was the risk that you were inviting the demons. It was even worse if you brought in a physical item because a physical item was also inviting the demons.

    Anyway fastfoward 20+ years and here I am on iTunes and they suggested a Jimi Hendrix tracked called Gypsy Eyes. OMMMMMMMMG

    so you owe your mom an apology for trying to help you avoid the low sink of depraved debauchery you have found yourself in today.

    Might I suggest his version of 'All along the WatchTower'. "There must be some way out of here" said the joker to the thief ",

    "There's too much confusion, I can't get no relief."

    Didn't she know that if you burn the album and it screems, that is how you can tell if it is demon possessed?

    I had the exact same experience, except in my case it was the In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida album from Iron Butterfly.

    Reminds me of the big scare over the ole Proctor and Gamble logo.

    I remember my silly ass jw mother-in-law throwing out every product she had with that logo on it........

    .......and buying them all again after a couple of weeks because they were the best products for the application.

    Those silly fundamentalists. Didn't they know that Hendrix's musical genius was supposed to be appreciated by playing his music forwards not backwards? Gypsy Eyes is not one of my favorites. The guitar solo on "Bold as Love" makes my speakers weep.
