Sex tapes. They’re all the rage these days.

Paris Hilton’s blown-out nightvision porno put her on the map of stardom. Pam Anderson and Tommy Lee’s harpooning expedition on their yacht made millions understand why the internet was important (for porn). And I’m not even sure who the Kardashians are, but I know that one of them [with a huge ass] has a sex tape.

But the recent news of a Jimi Hendrix sex tape has made me stop and ponder. A Jimi Hendrix sex tape? This changes everything.

Sure…slutty, semi-attractive women with little else to offer can make a sex tapes and reap the [short-lived] benefits of “celebrity”. But to have a rock-god that died 40 years ago, at the peak of his rock-n-roll stardom, release a sex tape in 2008?

Hell, that’s just impressive. And I thought Tupac had post-mortem legs.

This “Hendrix” sex tape features the afro-adorned rocker pitching a tent with two brunette groupies. Hendrix’s face only appears fully on screen for a second, but it’s clear by the bandana, the smirk of self-satisfation, and plethora of “foxy ladies” that it is no other than the mythical Jimi himself.

And I have to give it to him. Hendrix really gives new meaning to the expression “rock out with your cock out.”

I mean, there’s not even audio on the tape. I don’t think audio for cameras was even invented in 1968. But you don’t need it. If you play his album “Electric Ladyland” at exactly 15 seconds into the porno, the music & video synchronicity is uncanny. The one Brunette actually orgasms at the exact moment “Gypsy Eyes” kicks in. It’s like he planned the soundtrack to his own porno.

Talk about a trailblazer. He was making pornos four decades before it was cool or socially acceptable. And long before camera equipment was attainable to the average person. AND he created the soundtrack to his own porno, which came in at #1 on the Billboard charts. Now that’s talent and charisma. Something that sex-tape-makers of 2008 lack entirely.

Sure, Hendrix made a sex tape. But he didn’t need to. He could pick up a guitar, strum a few chords, and have girls orgasming in harmony to “The Wind Cries Mary”. What can Paris Hilton do? Suck on a wiener.

It really puts it all in perspective. Jimi, you were so ahead of your time. Even decades after you left our world, you are still the ultimate entertainer.

You keep on rockin’ with all those virgins in heaven.

I look forward to the sex tape.
