/This secular messiah (with no musical ability) is fast losing mass-appeal.
i didn't get the meaning of the cartoon. who can do me a favor? thank you so much
BTW - Jimi Hendrix was a Republican.
Why do your cartoonists have single names, and the rest of you at TE are anonymous?
It's pretty hard to have Soul when you've grown up singing the songs in the Mormon hymnal.

I was kind of hoping that Obama would light his guitar on fire, ala Hendrix.
Right, and they couldn't figure out how to make the cartoon Obama play with his teeth, I see.

At least he was playing lefty.
Mitt Romney is not Jimi Hendrix?
The worst thing he could OD on would be apple juice and sparkling water.
I still remember seeing pictures of GWBush toasting over a can of American alcohol-free beer with Chancellor Merkel at the G7 Summit in Germany.
At least compared to that fruit juice & sparkling water seems like a great choice.
He's not Micheal Jordan, either.

Sorry. My reply to @euphrax was meant in reply to your comment about the worst thing Jimi Hendrix could OD on.
Or Teddy Roosevelt.
