Company can’t sell “Electric Hendrix Vodka”

A federal judge in Seattle has told a company illegally hawking goods using Jimi Hendrix name to yank them from the shelves.  The company also owes the Jimi Hendrix estate $3.2 million.  The Jimi Hendrix estate didn’t want to sell Jimi’s likeness on alcoholic products because, “because drugs and alcohol have been claimed to be a factor in Jimi Hendrix’s untimely death.”
