Music Licensing issues and stuff like that

[An Actual Propeller]

Interesting mention of Hendrix and Withnail. The estate's rule, one of them anyway, is that his music should not be used in anything that glorifies drug taking. Think Bruce Robinson was amused by this on Withnail commentary.

I'm guessing steroids don't count as drugs, as Hulk Hogan used Voodoo Child (Slight Return) as his theme music for years.

The Hendrix estate was still in the hands of Alan Douglas at that time. Subsequently Hendrix's family, principally his father Al Hendrix and stepsister Janie, have been more stringent about matters of licensing. I'm sure the soon-to-be-released biopic of Hendrix was planned and executed without (successful) discussions with the family; hence the lack of his music.

I think it's a good thing. Everyone's so fixated on the music when it comes to him. Hopefully the film will concentrate more on him being in the army and his lifelong passion for carp fishing.
