The porn legend discusses how she finds common ground with mainstream musicians and actors on her radio show.
Despite the long-held prejudice against pornography held by many in our culture, the convergence of the adult entertainment industry and the mainstream entertainment industry grows stronger all the time. Nobody knows this better than XXX legend Amber Lynn. In addition to boasting mainstream credits such as the 1986 Roy Scheider/Ann-Margaret film 52 Pick-Up and the 2018 film Who’s Jenna…?, Lynn regularly sits down and talks turkey with mainstream entertainment personalities on her radio show Rock ‘N’ Sexxxy Uncensored (LA Talk Radio). Along with featuring Lynn’s fellow adult-film luminaries, the show has played host to noted musicians such as Guns N’ Roses, Marky Ramone and Steve Vai, as well as mainstream actors. (Kristen Renton, whose credits include Days of Our Lives and Sons of Anarchy, has served as co-host on Lynn’s show.)
According to Lynn, she was inspired to create the show due to the common ground shared by mainstream and adult performers—particularly, the effect of piracy on the entertainment industry across the board, and the impact that it’s had on performers’ livelihoods.
“I came up with the idea to do the mainstream show, and the reason why is because every industry is fighting piracy, and piracy is taking out the music industry. They can’t even earn a living anymore off their record sales. They have to do it off their live appearances. The biggest bands in the world, Guns N’ Roses, Aerosmith, struggling,” Lynn lamented during a recent interview with HUSTLERMagazine.com. “They’re living off of T-shirt sales on their live shows. I have them on my radio show all the time.”
Mainstream actors have also been hit by piracy and shifting audience habits, according to Lynn, who noted, “people aren’t going to the theaters anymore because they can just wait until it comes out on DVD or whatever it does, and then they just copy it. They pirate it.”
