What's next? Captain Kangaroo has a sex tape? Does anyone even care?
Vivid Entertainment is reportedly planning to release a sex tape featuring guitar God, Jimi Hendrix. The film, shot in 8mm, is 11 minutes long and shows Hendrix having sex with two women. Jimi Hendrix, considered one of the greatest and influential guitarists in rock history, died at the age of 27 after he asphyxiated in his own vomit on September 18, 1970.
Jimi Hendrix: The Sex Tape" will premiere today online at www.hendrixsextape.com, with a DVD edition scheduled to hit stores across the country on May 6. Shot in a hotel room circa 1968, the film shows Hendrix in "an erotic liaison with two slender brunettes.
According to Radar, it's not even real:
This week, porn producer Vivid is shipping the Jimi Hendrix sex tape, which is likely about as real as the Marilyn Monroe sex tape, which is to say not real at all.
Yes, reports The NYT, there's a Hendrix-like guy and a couple of girls with pubic grooming schemes that invoke the spirit of '69. Vivid says they've vetted the video—they and broker Howie Klein tell a rich tale of someone finding the reel labeled "black man" in a box of stuff sold at a memorabilia auction and recognizing the face of the man in the film as Hendrix. But attempts to authenticate it focus less on Hendrix's face and more on little Jimi. Or, not so little Jimi, according to legend. Cynthia Plaster Caster, a reformed groupie who now makes her bones hawking plaster casts of rockstar junk, says it's Hendrix's yutz, but she was paid to comment in the DVD. Same deal with Pamela Des Barres, another famous groupie who backs up the Vivid claim.
