Imaginary interview...

HR:  Nice resume, Mr. Hendrix...But are you experienced? 

JH:  Yes, I'm experienced performing with The Jimi Hendrix Experience, which is a mind-blowing ride if you know what I mean. 

HR:  Do your "mind-blowing" rides allow you to kiss the sky?

JH:  Is that a trick question?  I've lit-up a guitar on stage...It can get emotional.  Getting high enough to kiss the sky takes some work. Are you asking if I'm holding?  Do you wanta go?

HR:  I would like to know if you would fit in here where with us where the only ride we take is on the annual Hay Ride in October.

JH:  Oh, shit.  Fit in here (looks around) with you?  I thought this gig was for the Dating Game.  I'm not interested in any raggedy Hay Ride.

HR: Mr. Hendrix, don't be so sure.  Our hay rides have resulted in a few memorable moments.  We consider them a "perk" for our best employees.  We get a lot of "Thank You" notes after that experience.

JH:  Well, The Jimi Hendrix Experience is getting the hell outta here...
