[MD] Self experienced

[David Thomas]

Hi Ant,Jan

I think you might consider the SEX part in the sex, drugs, and rock & roll
tripartite. With Hendrix drugs & rock & roll were a constant, but if you
re-listen as though it's a come-on to some sweet golden beauty he was
asking, "Are you experienced?" I think it will click.

Makes sense to me anyway.

Dave
