the showtime cable movie channel did a good movie about hendrix a few years back

this sounds like it could be pretty good

Hope it happens, i was under i impression that jimi's sister (adopted) now owned the rights to his image/music and refused to give up rights. Also jimi's brother does not get on with her at all and has taken her to court several times over the estate, i would not have thought she would have got involved if she knew he was.
Maybe the potential dollars changed her mind.

I think it would be cool if Andre 3000 played him.
