Red Bull give you wings, but this stuff will leave tire tracks all across your back.

KISS, when reached for comment, said this blatant commercialism was disturbing.

I read an article once about his family/heirs and it was pretty nasty... They constantly go to court against each other and fight all the time about the money. They even dug up Jimmy and placed him in this tacky shrine which I think his father is buried at as well. Yeah, here it is..Wonder if you need to buy tickets to see this thing..What the hell is that thing anyway, a drive in for an ATM??

I'm going to start marketing a Jimmy Carter energy drink. You start out feeling fresh and honest, then develop a malaise, after which people's opinion of you goes straight to hell. You keep popping up everywhere, even places where you don't belong, and making a fool of yourself. I just have to figure out what ingredients to put into the drink to achieve the desired effect.

"...tire tracks all across your back."

"...I can see you've had your fun, but darlin' can't you see my signal turn from green to red -
I can see a traffic jam staright up ahead..."

Is it purple? Jimi's last "liquid experience" could not have been too pleasant.

If there's a great thing about being dead is that it helps solidify a legacy, usually positive, whether it's deserved or not. Jimi, had he lived, would most certainly have gone on tours presented by Depends, Colt 45, or Oreck Vacuum Cleaners.

Beverage Concepts says its nonalcoholic "Liquid Experience" drinks, named for Hendrix's breakthrough album, "Are You Experienced?" will debut in April.

They are hoping it fares better than the failed grape-flavored drink venture in 1978 with Jim Jones.

The concept is irking some Hendrix fans, many of whom still consider him the greatest guitarist of all time.

It doesn't bother me. Hendrix was the best of the best, but I won't drink that crap anyway.


"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.

From a guy who performed with nothing on but a tube sock over his genitalia? Amazing.

Maybe he'll have his own sock line, someday.

The concept is great. Wonder what Colt45 could come up with for James Brown...

Didn't Billy Dee Williams get in trouble for domestic violence not long after becoming their pitchman? At least JB would be safe from the law.......
