Makers of a new energy drink want you to get experienced, with their new Jimi Hendrix-branded ”Liquid Experience.”
Beverage Concepts says its nonalcoholic ”Liquid Experience” drinks, named for Hendrix’s breakthrough album, Are You Experienced? will debut in April.
Hendrix died Sept. 18th, 1970, after asphyxiating on his own vomit. And nothing reminds some musicians more of asphyxiating on your own vomit than putting a dead guy’s name on everything from coffee mugs to baby clothes, 35 years after his death.
”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, aka Flea of the Red Hot Chili Peppers.
