Far-L

As I see that it is mostly my fellow ol' timers criticizing this I feel compelled to weigh in on this...

I never saw Hendrix but I am a fan and have seen the documentaries and his performances in things like Monterey Pop, Woodstock, etc. and the one thing I come away with is that Hendrix was a sexual person, he was a free spirit, and he liked to be watched and in my opinion that is the kind of person that makes an amateur sex tape for all the right reasons.

He was exactly the kind of person that would question the morality of saying "sexuality is taboo". Come on, he willingly and enthusiastically let his ERECT PENIS be casted for posterity. If you look at the trailer then you can see someone else is present holding the camera. To me, those are all clues, albeit circumstancestial ones, that point to the distinct possibility that he would be totally groovy with this. Remember he was all about being counterculture. He was pro-drug. He was pro-sex. He was rock and roll through and through.

If you, my esteemed peers, think that it is profane to publish that footage then you are of course entitled to your opinions, but I say here and now, with my freak flag waving high, that I think it is pretty cool and way far out and I dig it!
