A nice interview with Jimi Hendrix's sister Janie on the Bravewords.com site. It's talking about the latest collection of unreleased Hendrix material to hit the stores, Valleys Of Neptune.
Janie Hendrix: "He's probably laughing."

I have been reflecting on my recent failure to realize that the Giant Water Slide Jump was fake (more analysis here). I think the guys that made this video did a really good job on several levels. First, the motion appears to do two important things:

Actually, I posted it because I think it's dumb. While I appreciate some of Guitar Hero's cheesy humor, I find this one less than impressive. They can do better, don't you think?
BioE, you've been playing guitar hero!?
