Talk:Third Stone from the Sun

Star Trek?
The article says that the song was inspired by the sounds of Star Trek but Hendrix was living in London at the time and "Third Stone from the Sun" has some resemblance to the Doctor Who theme music composed by Ron Grainer and performed by Delia Derbyshire.

"To you I shall put an end, then you'll never hear surf music again."
So what's the deal with this? It's popularly perceived as a "taunt" to popular music, but is there any basis in this? Surf music was already on the wane and had been for a couple of years, which is a long time in pop music. So would it make any sense for this to be a jibe at surf music? I've read this opinion in many sources, but never from anyone who was there during the recording of the song or who heard it from Hendrix himself. On the other hand, we do have Dick Dale claiming that Hendrix told him he was dedicating the song to him because he was saddened by the news that Dale was possibly dying. This changes the meaning of the phrase completely. Wellesradio (talk) 19:45, 14 August 2010 (UTC)
