To answer your first question, YES, this is a real photo. Out of respect for the families with loved ones buried near Jimi, I won't disclose the exact location, but every teenager in the Seattle area knows exactly where Jimi's final resting place is. To be very honest, I had a hard time deciding if this photo was suitable for this site, but I've received 100% positive feedback so far, so the people have spoken, and Jimi and the beans are now part of BATW lore. And while the BATW staff does not necessarily promote tromping on graves for the sake of bean photos, we certainly do appreciate the effort put forth by BATW Ambassador Fred Merkaloy. Plus, if anyone ever happens to make it to Graceland, we can turn our Beans With Dead Rock Stars tribute into a duet. (Update: The beans have now also met Elvis and Jim Morrison, so now all we need is a drummer. Keith Moon, anyone?)

Thank you Fred for your photo!
