Publisher Description
The stylish, exuberant, and remarkably sweet confession of one of the most famous groupies of the 1960s and 70s is back 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.

Narration
Narrated by the author.
Big disappointment
I was really looking forward to this but it was a terrible “read”. She skips around way too much and sings way too much. I tried but I couldn’t even finish it
I LOVE THIS BOOK!
This is one of the most interesting stories I’ve ever heard! She’s lived a life I dreamed of living but I wasn’t born yet… adventures and rock stars. Not just any rock stars, A list, influential, best of the best! And this book isn’t just sex with rock star stories. It’s about history of the 60’s and 70’s in the California music scene told by a young girl who kept diaries thru the whole thing. It’s amazing to me and really cool.
