Have Y'all heard about this yet? Apparently some company is trying to name their vodka Hendrix Electric Vodka & has a picture of Jimi's face on the bottle.
His family seems none too happy about this & I don't blame them.

Of all the nerve of these people and if any one thought about it why would they buy this product know Jimmi was hooked on booze. How did they get his signature?
I hope they ruin these people for doing this to his name it is very uncalled for

Wow, that is shocking. The fact that this company would even try such a stunt. I don't blame the family either. I hope they win the suit as well. Not only is it basically stealing a trademark-his resemblance, but it is also blatant disregard for the families feelings. Thanks for posting this article.
