I'm watching this show about Jimi Hendrix and they are showing unseen clips of Jimi playing interspersed with interviews. So they are talking to Billy Cox and he tells this story about one time when he is speaking to Miles Davis the first time they meet. It happens Billy ends up asking what moves Miles in music; he tells it like, Miles stuttered slowly and quietly; practically a whisper. So Billy ask's "what?" and Miles in this hoarse drawl says,"Machine Gun...., then the show segue's into the New Years Eve Fillmore East version of "Machine Gun." Great Stuff. I had an argument about who was better; Jimi or Eddie Van Halen the other night. The guy just did not want to admitt that Jimi was the best. Muy Loco.
