Groupies!
SassyMs69
music gossip! So how about a discussion about GROUPIES?
Has anyone here read Pamela Des Barres' book, "I'm With The Band"? Or how about
"Rock Groupie" by Connie Hamzy (aka Sweet Connie)?
Who do you think are today's biggest well-known groupies? My vote goes to
Winona Ryder, Helena Christiansen, Patsy Kensit, Naomi Campbell...Do we see a
pattern here? Mostly models and actresses.
Courtney Love was a big groupie before she hooked up with Ed Norton. Besides
Kurt Cobain, she was with Billy Corgan, Michael Stipe, Evan Dando, Trent
Reznor, and who knows how many others.
And finally, does anyone have any groupie stories to share?

First, while Courtney Love hung out with Michael Stipe, I doubt she was

if Courtney's a groupie for being with Corgan, Dando and Reznor, aren't
they groupies for being with her? She's a musician too.
I think it would be fun to list the male groupies too, you know those
whose partners are often models, actresses or musicians. That would be an
awfully long list. I loved Des Barres Book. Also Babe Buell (sp?), the
mother of Liv Tyler, and former partner of Tyler, Todd Rundgren, Jimmie
Page and others equally as famous, wrote a memoir in Details magazine a
couple of years ago that was terrific. I hope she turns it into a book
soon.

I'm really glad this newsgroup has been started! I have a book called
"Groupie" by Jenny Fabian; she was an old-school groupie back in the sixties.
The book is fiction, but her exploits are well-noted and she was written up in
a Cosmo article about groupies at the time which I also have a copy of around
somewhere. I also have "Rock Wives" which includes essays and interviews with
and about lotsa wives and girlfriends as well as Cyndi Lauper's ex-husband, the
one token male. Anyone else here remember the AGS Bebe Buell thread? Yee-haw!
Let's get to it!

paperback copy of "Groupies and other girls" printed back in the sixties. It

BTW, Pamela Des Barres has a website, sorry I don't have the URL, but if you do
a search you'll find it. It's electricgypsy something...anyway, check it out.

I once owned a book that came out in the mid-to-late 70s called "I, A Groupie,"
which was "fiction" but, rumor had it, was the thinly veiled story of Lisa
Robinson, who was a very well-known rock journalist in the 70s and 80s (anybody
here old enough to remember the heydey of Creem Magazine back when it was good
will surely remember Lisa). LIsa was a BIG groupie before she gained some
legitimacy by marrying producer/manager Richard Robinson (and thus gained
respectable entree into the rock world when he got her some writing gigs). If
any of you ever see this book at a used book store, pick it up, it's a hoot.
Bebe's article in Details was pretty good, but it should be noted that
everything that Miss B says should be taken with a HUGE grain of salt. I ran
in the same circles as her quite a few years ago, and poor Bebe was always a
bit delusional about her importance in the grand scheme of things (and I was
screaming about the "historiaoioaioaioan" remark, Tupelo - I used to post in
asg under another name, and I remember the Bebe thread all too well).
I'd like to hear more about the Connie Hamzy book - I've never seen it around.
How long has it been out? And the Jenny Fabian book is a good dishy read.
The last I heard about Lori Maddox was a few years back, when Robert Plant
played in LA on one of his solo tours. She was evidently in hot pursuit of the
cute young boys in Robert's band and made quite a nuisance of herself
throughout their stay in LA (and this came straight from one of the cute young
boys himself).

Wow, thanks, Tupelo -- I'm in awe of your vast groupie knowledge ;-)
BTW, somebody mentioned the LedZep groupie/fish thingie -- several years ago
when Alice in Chains were on tour, they had this stuffed and mounted fish on
stage with them, which they claimed was *the* fish, retrieved from whichever

Her name is Lori Maddox and I don't think she and Pamela Des Barres were ever
friends. (Jimmy Page dumped Pamela for Lori and then he dumped Lori for Bebe
Buell.) I read in a magazine article about two years ago that Lori was working
at the Beverly Center, a shopping mall in L.A.
I also remember several years ago seeing Lori on Sally Jessy Raphael's talk
show and the subject (of course) was groupies. I vaguely recall Lori and
another ex-groupie had a war of words on the show about who knew Jimmy Page
better.

Lisa is still a music journalist--she writes a syndicated column and does
stories for the New York Post. I seem to recall hearing stories that she had a
huge crush on Robert Plant. Lisa was heavily into Mick Jagger too. Could you

Something about Bebe Buell annoys me. Liv Tyler is adorable though.
<<I'd like to hear more about the Connie Hamzy book - I've never seen it

It's called "Rock Groupie: The Intimate Adventures Of Sweet Connie." I was
published in 1995 but it's out of print. I never saw it in a bookstore and I
tried ordering it through Amazon.com but they couldn't find it. A friend of
mine had the interview she did with Penthouse and Connie sure knows how to dish
the dirt. She claims Huey Lewis had the biggest penis of all the rock stars she
slept with. I also remember seeing Connie on Hard Copy (or was it A Current
Affair) a couple of times. Apparently rock stars werent the only celebrities
she's done the deed with...She's said she's had sex with Bill Clinton when he
was governor of Arkansas.
<<And the Jenny Fabian book is a good dishy read.>>
I have that book but I didn't find it as enjoyable as Pamel Des Barres book
"I'm With The Band."

It's her official web site and occasionally Pamela herself drops in for a chat.
You can also sign up to be on the Pamela Des Barres e-mail list. They just
announced that E! Entertainment Television is working on a "E! True Hollywood

Speaking of groupies, I just read in Entertainment Weekly that Jonathan Demme
is planning to make a movie based on the Go Go's history of sex, drugs &

Was that during one of his 79 breakups with Justine Frischmann? I read that
they split up yet again but my money is on a reconciliation. Though maybe
Justine hates the fact that Damon is the prettier one LOL. OTOH, I also have
heard that they had an open relationship, so I suppose the shagging could've
occurred during one of their on-periods.

SassyMs69
She was more of a "legitimate" groupie because she got a lot of access to bands
as a photographer. She definitely had her sights set on Paul from the
beginning. Linda first met Paul by getting herself invited to the Sgt. Pepper
premiere party as a photographer. From what I've read, she was pregnant when
they got married. Paul had a reputation of being a playboy (even though he was
living with Jane Asher) and because he was such an world-famous heartthrob, I
would imagine that any woman that ended up marrying him would have to do some
serious planning to meet him and go to great lengths to hook up with him.
Nothing wrong with that if it ends up being true love, which I believe it was.

This is where the groupie thing gets tricky. When you have a legit (i.e,
non-groupie) reason to meet the person, you're not quite a groupie...even if
you wouldn't have met the person without that specific (often quirky) reason.
I remember a conversation with a person I admire quite a bit who got to meet a
writer because of that kind of legitimacy connection. I started looking at
these things differently after that.

Sometimes someone who is just a "fan" unfairly gets labeled a groupie. But I
think it's fair to call someone a groupie if she/he wants to date/have sex
with the object of their desire and they go to certain lengths to do it. I also
think there are some groupies who aren't necessarily out for sex, but they
follow the object of their desire around on tour.

I realized after I sent off the earlier post that the example I gave was
probably more of a fandom-type thing, than a groupiedom one. The line between
the two isn't always real clear, I guess, but I agree that groupies are either
out for sex or some other kind of rather personal contact (not just standing
outside a studio, asking for an autograph). It seems that this is often the
pursuit of anybody who fits a certain category (i.e., musician)--rather than
even necessarily of a specific figure (though, of course, there's
"notches-on-the-belt approach" to "acquiring" certain prominent celebs).
Another distinction seems to be that fans get satisfaction just from being a
follower/consumer of someone's work, where groupies seem to need to gain some
kind of status through becoming part of someone's life (however briefly) and
tend to do this serially.

Back in the day (ten years ago), when we first met and got friendly with MFB
(my favorite band), it was by wanting to meet them and hanging out somewhere to
see them and get their autograph. Then, after we talked with them several
times, they tipped us off to where they were going to be and why didn't we stop
by? We ended up developing a pretty strong, non-sexual friendship with them.
But that was then, and now that kind of behavior is considered dangerous

Not surprisingly to those of you who already know me, I have
"Rock Wives," "I'm With the Band" and Pamela's other two books
and "Groupie." Alas, back in the 70s someone borrowed by copy
of "Groupies and other girls" and I've never found another
one. I also have "Tarnished Angel" by Jennifer Lee.
I did a story about groupies for a Rona Barrett mag back in
1980 and got to interview several LA groupies (that's how I
first met Pamela). The one I really wanted who eluded me was
Sable Starr. I put out a dragnet for her and other groupies
thru friends and acquaintances like Rodney Bingenheimer, and
Sable finally left me a message at the office while I was out
but didn't leave a number. I found out later that she was at
the Tropicana shacked up with Stiv Bators.
I used to hang out at Over the Rainbow on the Strip when it
first opened back in the early 70s and met the Butter Queen
there. Anybody else remember her?
On the country side, there's this gorgeous redhead from
Shreveport named Billie Jean who dated Faron Young and married
both Hank Williams and Johnny Horton - both of whom died
within a short period of time. Later she hit on then-upcoming
country singer Waylon Jennings, who didn't like her track
record and turned her down! Probably just as well, since he
lived on to bang both Pamela Des Barres and Jennifer Lee -
both of whom wrote about it. (Winding around to the original
subject)

Actually, the groupies I've met seemed pretty sane, compared
to the fans. After all, the gals who are sleeping with their
heroes (and getting phone calls from the road telling them
when they're coming to town and where they're staying, etc.)
don't *have* to stalk. Most of the stalkers are the type who
have *no* chance of getting close to a star.

I see your point. And, if they get rejected, and are unhappy about it, they
probably demand money or write a tell-all, rather than going the Fatal

It's Ted Demme, according to muzic.com. (But then they say that Ted is
Jonathan's son and he's his nephew. Considering how they screwed that bit
up I couldn't guess how much of this is correct) Emma
Our Lips Aren't Sealed: Go-Go's Movie To Hit Big Screen
It's official: the powers that be in Hollywood have finally run
out of ideas -- why else would they be purloining the lives of rockstars?
The L.A. Times reveals that Jonathan Demme's son Ted and his wife Amanda
have optioned the rights to the tell-all book the Go-Go's are penning with
punk avatar and Los Angeles music historian Pleasant Gehman. We knew
someone would bite just as soon as word got out that the band were going
to hold nothing back in the story of their ascension to the top (and back
down again) during the wickedly decadent '70s and '80s (you remember when
we told you that Gehman had uncovered a stack of Polaroids of various
men's penis's that the band had "loved and known" and which had all been
carefully labeled).
In fact, if the truth be told, their book and movie just might be
the an American version of The Velvet Goldmine. Gehman tells us it is "far
too early to discuss any of the details about the film," but also tells us
both the book and film will be released concurrently. The original members
of the band will not be in the movie; instead they'll hire actresses who
look like Gina Schock, Jane Wiedlin, Charlotte Caffey, Kathy Valentine,
and Belinda Carlisle did 20 years ago.
According to insiders, if they tell the real story of the band,
this movie might really be interesting. In addition to the wild tales of
hotel trashing, drugs, booze, and male groupies, there's still an
underground video floating around made by the band, which shows all five
members stoned out of
their minds forcing a member of their road crew to pull down his pants and
masturbate in front of them. Now that's something even James Hetfield
couldn't make one of his roadies do.

It's NOT Jonathan that's looking into doing a movie.It's Ted Demme and his
wife.It was Rob Lowe and Mike Marshall and BC lived together for a while.

Didn't they also sleep with each other?
I remember that being one of the rumors floating around
from time to time.
