I love reading literature on music of the '60s-'90s. I happen to like the music they showcase (everything from Led Zepplin and The Beatles to Nirvana), and having missed the hey-day of those artists, I feel closer to appreciating them on the levels of people like my dad with each new book.
Having just finished "Let's Spend the Night Together: Backstage Secrets of Rock Muses and Supergroupies," I wish I could travel back in time and be a groupie when music was more about a talent and attitude and less about fame and talent-free.
To a certain extent, I admire these girls for their daring, courageous moves. However, I felt sometimes, it was more about pleasing their "Rock Gods" then getting something for themselves.
In the end though, these girls had the prime time of being a groupie. Led Zepplin, Elvis, Iggy Pop, David Bowie, Nirvana, Cat Stevens, Jimi Hendrix; those were the days to be a groupie. I must also include that this book re-invigorated my passion for a certain rock god: Iggy Pop. Those girls were so lucky.
I'm so psyched to read this book. :)
