Sure there are similarities. Both existed on the same planet, were
subject to gravity, time etc.

But were there significant differences musically? I mean, when you

We thankfully haven't been treated to the release of
"The Complete Headquarters Sessions" and "The
Complete Pisces, Aquarius, Capricorn & Jones Ltd.
Sessions" box sets.

As far as I know.

It's odd times like this where I am reminded of (and so enjoy) the fact
that Hendrix opened for the Monkees for a little while in 1967.

Janis Joplin is still a frequent guest. As is former President Robert
