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.

パメラ・デ・バレスの筆致は、単なる暴露本を超えた瑞々しい文学的芳香を放っています。少女のような純真さと大胆な官能が同居するその語りは、伝説的スターたちを神格化された偶像から、血の通った一人の人間へと引き戻します。そこにあるのは、６０年代という狂乱の時代を背景に、音楽と愛に全てを捧げた一人の女性の、美しくも痛快な自立と成長の記録です。 彼女は「グルーピー」という存在を、時代を共創する主体的な表現者へと昇華させました。愛の探求者が綴るこの情熱的な回顧録は、読み手の心をあの日、あの瞬間のサンセット・ストリップへと一気に引きずり込む魔力に満ちており、自由を渇望する全ての魂を強く揺さぶる一冊と言えるでしょう。
