Because that was its origin.:rolleyes: How is it when somebody else has their facts wrong it's ok for you to correct someone but then when someone corrects you suddenly it's "splitting hairs"?:v:

slipss wrote: Actually I did hear it first from Jimmy Hendrix, he said it in an interview with a philosophy student from cambridge, theres an old black and white video of the interview that I've never been able to track down, maybe I dreamt it. But seeing as you seem pretty sure I'll except that it was Jimmy quoting Neil Young. I heard Kurt say it on more than one occasion, but I'm pretty sure that he laughed and said "Hendrix gave me that one" after saying it, maybe another dream though.
