"On behalf of both the Jimi Hendrix Foundation and Brave New World, I want to address the despicable news in regards to the Jimi Hendrix 'sex tape.' Regardless of the tape's authenticity, it is obvious that this is an intentional means to profit off of the exploitation of the greatest musician of our time. This by no means is a reflection of the contribution he's given to us all through his talents and therefore we will aggressively pursue any and every legal course of action to protect the integrity of his legacy."
An obvious attempt to profit, you say? Why, yes, it would be.
Of course, half the potential interest in the tape disappeared when one of the key market segments discovered the tape was filmed while he was still alive.
'The greatest musician of our time'? Modest, aren't they? In a kind of Kanye West way.....
ReplyDeleteThe difference between Hendrix's people saying it and Kanye West saying it is that there's some justification behind the claim in the case of Jimi Hendrix.
ReplyDeleteStill, it's a fairly audacious thing for them to actually claim in public.
