Your People I Do Not Understand
Posted on Sep 09 2006 xi:39 PM
And then I was listening to Jimi Hendrix last night and one of the songs I ran over was the instrumental "Third Rock From the Sun" in which he utters the line ". . . Your people I practice non understand, then to you I shall put an end, and you'll never hear surf music once again. . ."
Trriiiippy
I've heard the story nearly the line supposedly alluding to Dick Dale having cancer(?) and the opinion that it was simply sort of opening people's eyes to their sins of abandoning surf or something. Does anyone really know anything else about the line? Did he mean anything in particular or ever explain afterwards?

that has been subject of a lot of debate and speculation. Ferenc gave the winning answer in this thread
when I posted this pic 
Ferenc responded
Ferenc
I think he tried out the Jag, loved it and started to write a bunch of surf songs, then dropped it and it broke, so he said "You will never hear surf music again..." Finally a reasonable caption for that mysterious quote.

That's pretty hilarious, and entirely reasonable. Silly ol' Jimi, e'er dropping guitars and abandoning genres equally a consequence and so talking about it on his records.
Anyways, thanks WR. I approximate that'southward almost equally helpful as it will get. I similar how that thread devolved into an in-depth commentary on hippydom.

Featherbrained ol' Jimi, ever dropping guitars and abandoning genres as a consequence and then talking about information technology on his records.

Dick likes to tell the story that Jimi said that quote about him.
Well-nigh people agree that Jimi was talking about the Beach Boys not playing the Monterey Jazz festival due to Brian's odd behaviour. There are other ideas likewise, elsewhere, Jimi takes an alien's view of planet earth, and may have been observing how the people of the strange, beautiful planet are destroying information technology, to the point where they will never hear 'surf music again", surf music beingness the beautiful sound of crashing waves, not reverb tanks. This was a big debate in my dorm, circa 1983 (a merman I should turn to be).

I heard somewhere that Jimi used to attend Dick Dale'southward shows back when Jimi was a "nobody."
Here's a link to an MP3 excerpt from that recording with the out-takes. Information technology'due south pretty funny.

I have heard them do 1983 a merman I... but I don't know about third rock. As yous know, the Insects play a few confined of information technology in their song "Third Rock"

Could Jimi Hendrix meet the future?
Are the real significant of his comments about Pollo Del Mar...
It's obvious that he's talking about Pollo Del Mar or why else would he take the line "with your imperial and superior cackling hen"
He'south talking about chicken and surf music... He has to be talking about Pollo Del Mar... or maybe Southern Culture on the Skids...
OK... Aye I am kidding past this... I just recollect that people have been reading as well much into this...
I'g surprised that noone has brought up the 3rd stone version that is on the Hendrix box set that came out about 4 or 5 years agone... Information technology has a line that might make a difference to how everybody is looking at this topic...
Right after the "Never hear surf music again" line in the vocal...
Jimi clearly says,
"That sounds like a lie to me..."
Then... It'due south a lie when he says that y'all will never hear surf music again....
Thanks!
Fez
P.S. Here'southward a transcript of what he says on the box set version...
(Notation there are 2 failed attempts at reciting this on the recording before the start point of this transcript... they sound pretty stoned... imagine that... Ha!)
Star fleet to picket send, please give your position. Over.
I'grand in orbit around the third planet of star known as sunday.
Over.

Over.
Positive. It is known to take some course of intelligent species.
Over.
I think we should take a look.
are you getting all that Jimi
Strange beautiful grass of green,
with your imperial silver seas
Your mysterious mountains I wish to see closer
May I country my kinky machine?
Although your world wonders me,
with your imperial and superior cackling hen
Your people I do not understand,
and then to you I shall put an end
And y'all'll never hear surf music once more
That sounds similar a prevarication to me

I didn't think information technology was possible to break a Jaguar.

My band covers 3rd Stone without all the absurd space talk. I just say one line from the song slightly changed,
"May yous forever hear surf music my friends"
I love Jimi just that always bothered me. I am glad to know he really didn't mean information technology.

I don't Jags fire too well. Non as nice every bit a strat.
I think information technology'south a real possitive statement towards surf, the cease of the globe means you'll never hear surf music again. And Jimi didn't say "you'll never HAVE to hear surf again"

Come up On man let'southward go dwelling
Actually, with this context - which I'd never heard before - it'southward just a line in a song. It needn't accept any more than significant outside the song than whatever other line in the song, east.g., as suggested, we might ponder the sense out of context of "your majestic and superior cackling hen." The visitor likes the scenery and dislikes flesh, only notes that if he should destroy them, then "You'll never hear surf music again." Given Jimi's phrasing, I'd approximate he doesn't mean that if he destroys human being no one else will hear man'southward "surf music" again, merely rather that if he destroys human being, homo will never hear "the music of the surf again."

Just establish this video - obviously the earliest ane known to be - of Jimi playing a Jazzmaster. Even in a big soul band, you lot could tell that's him on guitar.

Thank you for posting that. 
Did you know that Jimi played guitar for Petty Richard :lol:? That guy was an A$$ Hole, plain he thought that he was a better musician, and performer, and so he fired Jimi
