People like people who can laugh at themselves. <br><br>Here is an old live video of Jimi Hendrix. He does a bunch of whammy effects during the intro and throws his guitar way out of tune at about 1:45. He just laughs it off.  He also says, "I forgot the words" at about 2:19 :lol: <br><br><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gv3cKLWQimE&amp;feature=related">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gv3cKLWQimE&amp;feature=related</a><br><br>The worst thing you can do is get upset or angry or make faces, nobody enjoys that.]]></content:encoded>
