It's a disgrace, really. I remember when his family, spearheaded by his half-sister Janie (who he barely knew) won the lawsuit they had filed against the entities who had control over his name and likeness. At the time, I was very happy to see his kin justly gain control over these things. The flipside, though, is that before his family got back the rights to his stuff, there were no Hendrix diapers or vodka shots, or whatever. He's got to be rolling over in his grave.

Yikes, WTF.

:cry:

But you know the diapers might actually be useful if properly marketed...

How many times have you been halfway thru a set and needed to pee --- Rock and Roll Diapers !!!

You could make a great blooz face and let go at t he sametime - the audience would just t hink it was part of the act :wink:

He is one of the reason that I picked up a guitar. (as many before me)
I really like his music and got soft spot for stuff with his names on them.
I know that there are a lot of money involved in this game, but too much commercialism messes up good vibes and come the comment like "Oh, Hendrix is SOooo over rated." and such..

having said that... I all for Hendrix Vodka :P , and I don't drink any more. I will just buy it to get the bottle... :roll:
