Is that a gift or a warning? 😉

I think you mean Barry Bonds. I remember seeing them at Disch-Falk, and all the Wild Bunch guys pointing him out saying, "That's Bobby Bonds's kid". I also remember every time Odibie McDowell came up to bat, they'd break out singing, "You outta be in pictures". I miss those guys. They were almost as entertaining as the games.

Which musician would've put out the best music if they hadn't passed?

Obviously, it's impossible to say what someone would have produced later in life had they not died at an early age, but I disagree with this take. I've read biographies and interviews that lead me to believe that Hendrix might have been on the verge of a whole new, and completely different phase of his career. A lot of the malaise that affected the last year or so of his career stemmed from issues with his management, specifically Mike Jeffries. Jimi was getting tired of the wild man pop star image that made him famous, but the fans demanded, and Jeffries insisted on continuing with the Purple Haze, Foxey Lady, etc. style of "hit" music, and Jimi wanted to expand beyond this. This, and issues with Noel Redding not being happy festered through late 1968 and lead to the breakup of the original "Experience" lineup in spring of 1969. After experimenting with various personnel lineups through the rest of '69, Jimi had settled on a new trio in early 1970 with Billy Cox replacing Noel on bass. I have read that in late 1969 or so, Jimi was having conversations with Miles Davis, yes, THAT Miles Davis, about collaborating. As I understand it, Miles Davis' album Bitches Brew was conceived to be part of that collaboration, but Jimi unfortunately had contractual commitments that prevented his participation. All of this was going on while Jimi was also trying to get his new studio, Electric Lady Studio, completed. After returning to Europe in late summer 1970 to complete some concert commitments, Jimi's management contract with Mike Jeffries was set to expire in October or November of 1970, at which time Jimi had planned to return to the U.S. and find new management. I recall reading what I think was Jimi's last interview, where he said that he was looking forward to returning to the States, and some of the things he wanted to do included learning how to read and write musical notation, and he was really looking forward to studying music theory. This desire of his to deepen his musical knowledge, along with his contact with a jazz icon like Miles Davis lead me to believe that if Jimi had survived and made it back to the U.S., he would have been off to a whole new plane of musical exploration and experimentation. Unfortunately, we'll never know, thanks to Monica Danneman. -

The funny thing about Penn State getting upset at Nixon "declaring" Texas to be National Champions is that Nixon had no say in the matter. Texas were National Champs based on going in to the last game of the season undefeated and ranked number 1, beating another undefeated team, number 2 ranked Arkansas in their own house. Any belief that Penn State had that they should have been number 1 is just stupid and their decision to not settle the question on the playing field was cowardly. -

That may have been an issue for Syracuse in 1960 (Which, BTW, didn't prevent them from playing and winning) but not for PSU in 1969. That is just the excuse they used to avoid getting their asses kicked. -

The saguaro or the Arizonans? -
Not sure this is true any more. Look at Marshawn Lynch, another good RB known for his toughness and "unique" persona and off the field behavior, but was beloved by pretty much everyone. At worst, the attitude towards him was that he was just a character, and the NFL needs more characters. It's especially these days, when nearly every play ends with someone doing the "look at me" screaming, flexing, pounding their chest and/or screaming at the sky, shit talking is just not the trigger it used to be.
