Lets Spend the Night Together

Groupies make rock n'roll go around. However, the groupies of the late 60's and 70's have been replaced by girls with fake boobs, skinny eyebrows, and over-bleached hair. Some of the legendary rock geishas: are Pamela Des Barres, Uschi Obermaier, Patti D'Arbanville, Bebe Buell, Lori Lightning and Catherine James. Cynthia Plaster Caster (the Rodin of Rock), who made plaster replicas of rock stars' penises (including that of Jimi Hendrix). These ladies' flourished in Hollywood’s psychedelic heyday. The Sunset Strip and it’s environs: Choc-a-bloc boulevards populated with beautiful long-haired hippie freaks in vintage velvet; music pumping from The Whisky and The Galaxy, Bido Lido’s and Thee Experience. In the end, it's all about the music, or as Pleasant Gehman sums it up blithely in Pamela des Barres breathlessly gossipy scrapbook: Being a groupie is like worshipping at the church of rock and roll—and you are the high priestess.
