Short story:

Before a show at The Civic Opera House, Chicago, Illinois, USA, Jimi Hendrix encounters The Plastercasters, who (as is their wont) make a plastercast of his penis.

Full article:

Hugh Hopper (Soft Machine) : In Chicago we invaded the stately Hilton hotel and from our rooms could look out to the vast nothingness of Lake Michigan, its solid frozen grey surface merging with the heavy winter sky. The heating in the rooms produced such a stifling blast that it was a relief to open the windows and let the air flow in, uninterrupted on its way down from arctic Canada.
 
Manic giggles could be heard coming from the direction of the musicians' rooms. The Jimi Hendrix Experience received a visit from the Plaster Casters of Chicago. These industrious ladies were making a collection of musicians' penises, which they did by grabbing every major rock musician who came to Chicago. They would corner him in his room, forcibly stimulate him and then slap quick setting plaster of Paris on his dick. One of the true innovations of American Art in the twentieth century. Noel Redding announced with great glee that his had turned out bent ... he'd started to collapse, probably from laughter, before the plaster had set.

Cynthia Plaster Caster : We saw them beckoning to us and we thought they were waving because they knew who we were, but they were actually just waving to any old girl. Anyway, we got in a cab and followed them to their hotel (The Conrad Hilton) and we asked Jimi if we could cast him, and he said "Sure, come on up to my room."

Things just got going straight away. I started measuring the ingredients in the bathroom, while my friend Marilyn helped me take notes - she'd never seen a dick before, so Jimi's was the first one she got to see. And Dianne was giving her first plate (partial-fellatio designed to keep the penis erect while being cast) as a partner of mine. Was she nervous? She had such a huge mouthful, I couldn't see any nervousness on her face. I think she was just desperately concentrating on shoving the whole thing in her mouth.

We needed to plunge him through the entire depth of the vase. We got a beautiful mould. He even kept hard for the entire minute. He got stuck, however, for about fifteen minutes (his hair did) but he was an excellent sport, didn't panic. In fact, I believe the reason we couldn't get his rig out was that it wouldn't get soft.

We were waiting for Jimi to fall out of his mould, but he didn't, so I had to pull him out. I hadn't put any lubrication on his pubes, so I had to pull out each public hair one by one. But he didn't mind, because the impression he'd created was just the right size for his dick, so he fucked it while he was waiting.

I was really anxious to see the finished product, and I accidentally cracked the mould open and it crumbled into pieces. But I very carefully folded it back together again, and it came out pretty much intact. It's fairly huge, very thick and rather long.

Hugh Hopper : The next morning I went to a department store to replace my suitcase that we had flattened the day before when Neville backed the truck down into the theatre, forgetting that we had already opened the back door ... all the gear tumbling out in a cascade - the only damage being my crushed suitcase. In the store I found Noel causing havoc. All three of the Experience were addicted to buying things ... movie cameras, radios, hi-fi, novelty items ... but Noel was the winner for the craziest things. I came upon him seriously discussing with a girl in Cosmetics the relative virtues of different hair tints. He ended up buying a jet-black dye and appeared two hours later in the Hilton restaurant with black eyebrows and moustache. A sort of hysteria gripped us all and most of the tour applied what was left of the dye to various parts of our anatomies. It grew out very quickly, leaving two-tone eyebrows, sideburns and moustaches all over the place.
 
Eddie Kramer (Hendrix sound engineer) : I remember going for a ride with him up 8th Avenue at about 85mph in this silver, rainbow-coloured Corvette…
