I don't have a lot of guitar blues records anymore, but I do have some '60s and '70s Buddy Guy, precisely because of his commonalities of spirit and technique with Jimi Hendrix in that special juncture of blues and r&b. Lugnut's fine insight linking the two men was better known among astute musicians and fans "back in the day" than now, I think.
I see less commonality between the lives and deaths of Hendrix, Joplin, and Morrison. Their deaths certainly made great headlines, but the natures of their lives, their music, and their drug usage differed significantly. With their deaths occurring in close proximity, the media created a grand story of martyrs/victims of sex-drugs-and-rockandroll.
