Quoted from LyonsRonnie1:I would imagine Hendrix's career is probably at a low point right now, though. When I was in high school in the 90's he was having a resurgence and he was red hot, but I haven't heard anybody talking about him in years... so that might be a big miss if Stern attempted a Hendrix pin.
Hendrix doesn't get much air play, but there is interest. The Experience Hendrix Tour featuring - Buddy Guy, Eric Johnson, Eric Gales, Zak Wilde, Tony Franklin, Kenny Wayne Sheperd, Doyle Bramall, Brad Whitford, ect. was a kick ass show! They are playing more dates in Feb/March. Not much advertising, and just playing large theaters, but it was packed with middle aged fans who could probably afford a pin for their mancave.
