The stylish, exuberant, and remarkably sweet confession of one of the most famous groupies of the 1960s and 70s is back in print in this new edition that includes an afterword on the author's last 15 years of adventures. As soon as she graduated from high school, Pamela Des Barres headed for the Sunset Strip, where she knocked on rock stars' backstage doors and immersed herself in the drugs, danger, and ecstasy of the freewheeling 1960s. Over the next 10 years, she had affairs with Mick Jagger, Jimmy Page, Keith Moon, Waylon Jennings, Chris Hillman, Noel Redding, and Jim Morrison, among others. She traveled with Led Zeppelin; lived in sin with Don Johnson; turned down a date with Elvis Presley; and was close friends with Robert Plant, Gram Parsons, Ray Davies, and Frank Zappa. As a member of the GTO's, a girl group masterminded by Frank Zappa, she was in the thick of the most revolutionary renaissance in the history of modern popular music. Warm, witty, and sexy, this kiss-and-tell all stands out as the perfect chronicle of one of rock 'n' roll's most thrilling eras.… (meer)

Ein einmaliger Einblick hinter die Kulissen des Rock 'n' Roll. Groupies, oder auch Musen der Götter, sind ein wesentlicher essentieller Bestandteil der Szene, wenn es sich bei ihnen auch um die wahren Groupies handelt. Und nicht, wie heute weitläufig bekannt, um s.g. Starficker, denen es nur um den Ruhm, das Rampenlicht und das Geld geht.

Wärmstens zu empfehlen. (

A hundred pages into this memoir, the dominant message seems to be teenage naivete: an immature 13 yr old's crushes on inaccessible pop figures extending into adulthood, when she began acting out her daydreams. The remainder of the book consists of her unreflective repetitions of encounters and professions of undying love to a series of opportunistic men. The diary entries and the text itself seem to owe a lot to a creative writing course. (

The prose style, especially the old diary entries, get a little hard to take after a while, but nevertheless, I couldn't stop reading. I love it that in this book Chris Hillman is on the same level as a target for her lust as was Jimmy Page or Mick Jagger or Don Johnson. We do get some very nice vignettes of the personalities and offstage sides of Mick Jagger, Keith Moon, and many others. IN some cases, they are complementary--such as Jagger--and in others, sad, as in the doomed Mr. Moon. This is a story worth reading, and I'm glad I read it. It does take you back to a different time and place. (

Histrionic and emotionally breathless tales of a rock'n'roll groupie. She "likes" Gram Parsons, Jimmie Page, Jim Morrison and Mick Jagger. She doesn't like Paul McCartney (altho he was an idol from her pre-teen days. She's over-sexed and an emotional basketcase most of the time. Still, a useful, unique look at the 60s and 70s from a woman's point of view. (

This is a reread but it's been so many years, and I want something fun. I’d kind of forgotten what a delight this book is. Her enthusiasm and purity of spirit are just wonderful. If ever there was a good argument for keeping an exhaustive journal you carry around with you this is the book.
