Forrest

Hi Everyone!

I was just wondering about a song featured in the Forrest Gump movie. (1994) When Forrest joins the army and the music begins to play as they are slowly walking down a dirt road with Lutenant Dan (spelling?). I think it might be by Jimi Hendrix but I'm probably wrong. Anyways, thanx alot!

Yeah, it's Jimi Hendrix's remake of "All Along The Watchtower".

hendrix's version is a remake? i always thought his version was the original -- being more familiar with the dave matthews band remake of the song. :blink:

interesting. who did the original?

Bob Dylan wrote it and did the original..
I didn't know about the Dave Matthews one, I'll have to check that out..

I think there's another song that Dylan wrote but again with Jimi's version being more famous... the Buffalo Springfield song that plays just before Gump's platoon gets ambushed is also wicked...

ok, time to get off this tangent...
