Jimi Hendrix Movie Has No Jimi Hendrix Music


For the past couple of months, Andre 3000 has been filming a Jimi Hendrix biopic. It sounds like a good idea and I think a movie about Jimi's life would be a great thing. I even think Andre can pull it off. That being said, it would be nice to have a Jimi Hendrix movie that actually has Jimi Hendrix music in it. This movie will have no original Jimi works in it at all. None. There will be covers of songs from groups around at the time, but it seems kind of dumb to make a movie without acquiring the rights, but the family of Jimi hates this producer so they said no. They have continued to say no. They liked another producer who was going to give them a bunch of money but that producer could not get a movie made. For his part, the producer says the movie is not about the music, but about the life. Huh? That makes no sense. That is something you say to the studio and hope they don't ask too many questions and just write a bunch of checks.
