I count them on one finger. I think that Borat can pull it off, and it has the blessing of the remaining Queen musicians.

Now, where is the Hendrix movie?

I saw it some years ago. It wasn't a bad movie at all, from what I remember. However, the guitar parts were clearly not originally Hendrix. Also, I wonder if the producer couldn't get the rights to use Hendrix's own compositions, because all of the tunes were either covers Hendrix did (e.g., Hey Joe, All Along the Watchtower) or generic blues jams.

I did not think it was a good movie. I was referring to the one that Andre Benjamin was going to portray Jimi (which I think is a good casting). Then I heard that Lenny Kravitz bought the rights to several years ago, but have not heard anything about it since. Lenny is starting to get too old to play a man who died at age 27. What is Kravitz, 40 years old?

The stories of Lenny buying the rights to the Hendrix movie are 5 years old now.

Thanks for that Moxham. OK Lenny, you are 46, way too old to play Hendrix, you've been sitting on this for 5 years now and you are just getting older. Sell the movie rights to someone that can really play Jimi. I would like to see a good movie about this great blues/rock musician.
