crazy_t Posted January 24, 2007 Posted January 24, 2007 (edited) White collared conservative flashing down the street, Pointing their plastic finger at me. They're hoping soon my kind will drop and die, But I'm gonna wave my freak flag high, high. Wave on, wave on Fall mountains, just don't fall on me Go ahead on Mr. Business man, you can't dress like me. Sing on Brother, play on drummer. Yeah, I'm sure Jimi would have really been behind those "products" himself... Weak. Edited January 24, 2007 by crazy_t Quote

Peter_Puget Posted January 25, 2007 Author Posted January 25, 2007 I think I’ll listen to a little early show Berkeley 1970 on the drive home! Quote
archenemy Posted January 25, 2007 Posted January 25, 2007 It is lame, but Hendrix (the god that he is) does not own the word Experienced. But this isn't the first time: The name and image of Hendrix, who died in 1970 following a drug overdose in London, have been licensed to many companies for products including baby clothing, an air freshener, a lava lamp and a Christmas ornament. Bummer all around. Quote
