You know the new movie about Jimi Hendrix?… it won’t use any Jimi Hendrix music

That's pretty broken. Did John Lennon really say what they quote him as saying on that page?

According to WikiQuote it is "unsourced."

My brother in law gets a kick out of making stuff up and posting it to Facebook. So long as it is followed by "John Lennon," "Gandhi" or "The Dali Lama" it will get liked by multiple people.

>"a movie about Jimi Hendrix being made, starring Andre Benjamin"

If it's starring anyone other the Jimi Hendrix, it isn't about Jimi Hendrix, it's fiction.

I can't see how the estate is out of line. Furthermore, I personally think it's wonderful that his estate still controls the rights to his music rather than a large media conglomerate. "Revolution" as a sound track for a shoe commercial convinced me of that.

That is strange.

BTW, I saw Jimi Hendrix in concert a week or so before he died - he was an awesome talent! I have some nice pictures I took at that concert shooting Anschrome ASA color slide film that I developed myself to push the ASA rating up for the dim light.
