Overview
Reviews
"It reads like a novel . . . a chatty, entertaining account . . . funny and fearless. . . . Certainly now, as a late bloomer chronicling the collapse of a rock-and-roll life style as vigorously as she described its heyday, Pamela Des Barres is having the last laugh.” —Janet Maslin, The New York Times Book Review
“Bursting with candor and bittersweet warmth.” —Rolling Stone
"Rock's groupie supreme . . . offers new insights into the particulars of the sexual engine that drives rock, this time from the wiser perspective of a mature Miss Pamela. Ms. Des Barres's decision to tell her story is an act of liberation in today’s post-feminist terms. . . . There's still much to learn from Ms. Des Barres about the rock world's hidden history and its groundings in desire." —The New York Times
"She charms me every time she refuses to regret. And she regrets nothing." —Los Angeles Times
Dishy and readable—[Des Barres'] writing style is always chatty, witty, and conversational." —The Austin Chronicle blog Earache!
