Jimi Hendrix played gay to leave Army

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Jimi Hendrix, regarded as one of the greatest electric guitar players and known as a prodigious womanizer, lied about being gay to get out of the U.S. Army and pursue his true love -- music, according to a new biography of the rock legend

According to author Charles Cross, an 18 year old Hendrix enlisted in the 101st Airborne Division in 1961 as a court-offered alternative to jail for riding in stolen cars.

Although Hendrix always said he was honorably discharged after after breaking his ankle in a parachute exercise, Cross claims that

...military records showed he was discharged for homosexual tendencies. According to the records, he told the base psychiatrist he had sexual fantasies about his bunkmates, grew addicted to masturbating and was in love with a member of his squad.

Hey Joe! Where are you going...?
