Gucci Mane was arrested on Friday on a misdemeanor battery charge from an incident in January in which the rapper allegedly pushed a woman out a moving car. According to police, Gucci picked up a woman at a mall near Atlanta, invited her to breakfast and attempted to give her $150 in exchange for her accompanying him to a hotel room. When she refused, he threw her out of his vehicle.

In addition to the battery charge, Gucci Mane will also be charged with violating his probation. The rapper has had several run-ins with the law since being released from an Atlanta prison after serving six months of a one-year sentence for violating probation on an assault charge. In November he was arrested for driving erratically and attacking a man, and he was detained during a raid of fellow emcee Waka Flocka Flame's home in December.

“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."
