Chris Brown has deleted his Twitter account again, E! Online reports, this time after a nasty exchange yesterday with comedy writer Jenny Johnson.

The back-and-forth began when Brown tweeted, "I look old as fuck! I'm only 23 . . .," and Johnson replied, "I know! Being a worthless piece of shit can really age a person." Johnson has been a persistent critic of Brown's on Twitter since he was arrested in February 2009 for assaulting then-girlfriend Rihanna and, in Johnson's view, not showing remorse. 

This time, Brown responded, tweeting vulgar insults that included calling Johnson a "hoe" and suggesting she perform oral sex on him. Johnson corrected his spelling during their exchange, and tweeted a link to a story about Brown's 2009 arrest.

According to Celebrity Tweet, Brown signed off after posting, "To teambreezy . . . Know that I'm not upset. Just felt like entertaining the ignorance. These bitches crazy . . . Further proved my point of how immature society is. #CarpeDiem."

Johnson's final tweet on the subject read, "According to Team Breezy, if you have a difference of opinion with someone, 'eating a dick' is the cure for any and all problems. #Knowledge."

Brown previously shut down his Twitter account in December 2009 after ranting about retailers he thought had refused to carry his album, Graffiti.

“All Along the Watchtower”

The Jimi Hendrix Experience | 1968

Jimi Hendrix got hold of Bob Dylan's early John Wesley Harding tapes and in late 1967 recorded a version of "All Along the Watchtower" with the Experience in London. Dissatisfied with that first development, Hendrix brought those tapes with him to New York in early 1968 when he began work on Electric Ladyland. Eddie Kramer, Hendrix's engineer at the time, told Rolling Stone that Hendrix "was still looked upon by his basically white audience as the mammoth black guitar hero. There was a constant fight within him to expand himself." Hendrix's successful take on Dylan's work has long been recognized by the songwriter. "I liked Jimi Hendrix's record of this and ever since he died I've been doing it that way," Dylan wrote in the liner notes to his Biograph box set. "Strange how when I sing it, I always feel it's a tribute to him in some kind of way."
