Ah, what might have been if he and all the others in "Rock & Roll Heaven" had lived.

I personally can't think of anyone whose 'future' work I would have been more interested in than Jimi's, had he/she lived. Not to put too fine a point on it, but I kinda doubt that Joplin or Morrison or Lennon or Billie Holliday or ____ (name here) had dramatically new and interesting directions to take, but I remain convinced that Jimi did. Second and third after him would be Buddy Holly & James Dean, imho.

I agree with you on this for the most part. In Lennon's case, his new and interesting directions would have been in activism rather than music. But your point is a good one.
