Sometimes a stroll down Hollywood Boulevard is a step back in time. To 1969, to be exact.

It's that way when Anthony Aquarius plugs in his battery-powered amplifiers, straps his electric guitar on upside down and belts out "Hey Joe" to startled passersby.

Aquarius sounds like Jimi Hendrix. He looks like him too -- right down to the lanky gait, bushy hair and flamboyantly colored clothes.

Hendrix, an iconic figure from the late 1960s, is regarded by some as the best rock guitarist ever. He still is revered for his heavily amped sound and freewheeling strumming technique.
