Flea decries Jimi Hendrix brand energy drink |
|
I'm with Flea. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070124/ap_on_en_mu/hendrix_drink
CALABASAS, Calif. - A new energy drink doesn't promise to give you the juice to play guitar like Jimi Hendrix, but it does hope to give you a "Liquid Experience."
Beverage Concepts says its nonalcoholic "Liquid Experience" drinks, named for Hendrix's breakthrough album, "Are You Experienced?" will debut in April.
The concept is irking some Hendrix fans, many of whom still consider him the greatest guitarist of all time.
"To see his image and the beautiful feelings it has created during my lifetime cheapened by base advertising ... is very disappointing to me," said bassist Michael Balzary, better known as Flea of the Red Hot Chili Peppers.

6. National Lampoon did an article about smoking dead rock stars |
|
Jimi Hendrix was particularly desirable, and outrageously expensive.
