[ ] The New York Times reports that adult video maker Vivid Entertainment will release a 45-minute DVD, called “Jimi Hendrix the Sex Tape,” which allegedly shows the late guitarist banging two women. (NYT)
 
From the story:
 
The film shows a naked man who resembles Hendrix, the guitar legend who died in 1970, wearing a bandanna in his Afro, having sex with two brunettes in a dimly lighted bedroom. His full face appears on screen for only a few seconds, with his eyes closed…. The DVD includes commentary from two women who met Hendrix and say they believe the tape is real: Pamela Des Barres, the author of “I’m With the Band: Confessions of a Groupie” (1987), and Cynthia Albritton, better known as Cynthia Plaster Caster. Ms. Albritton is known for doing plaster casts of the genitals of rock stars, including Hendrix in 1968….“I’m 100 percent sure it’s him,” Ms. Albritton, 61, said…
 
THE plaster cast of Hendrix’s knob, here.
