Sorry I'm in one of those moods today so just bare with me. At the end of the month I will be moving into another apartment and in organizing for my move I found Pamela Des Bares book "Let's Spend the Night Together", I brought right as it came out and read it in a weekend. Anyhow I was looking for an easy read last weekend and so I decided to re read it again, as I often do with books that I read years before.
Miss Pamela interviews some interesting ladies in this book i.e. Bebe Buell (Liv Tyler's Mom) who was a top fashion model and then became a musician, Margaret Moser, who was part of the Texas Blonds and then became the music writer for the Austin Chronicle and is one of the founders of SXSW, Pleasent Gehman who is a punk musician, writer and actress,Gail Zappa wife of the late Frank Zappa who oversaw and still oversees all of Zappa's business affairs and Tura Santana a b movie actress who stared in "Faster Pussycat Kill Kill" and other cult classics films from the 1960's and dated Elvis Presley.
She also interviews women whose only claim to fame is blowing Kid Rock in the back of his tour bus and fucking Van Halen and all their road crew in one night. These are the interviews that made me sad but also made me cringe at the same time.
And there is a website I go on from time to time called Groupie Central it's basically a message board where women write in about their encounters with various rock musicians and ask if certain rock musicians are into hooking up with groupies. Rarely do I go on this board because like those interviews with those women whose only claim to fame is getting a "facial" from the dude who won the first season of "INXS Rock Star" it makes me feel horrified.
It upsets me that these women feel the only way to empower themselves is to sleep with musicians and do degrading things to get these morons attention. I also get upset when these girls forge an identity through musicians and attack other girls over a musician.
My parting words with this post are this; sleeping with a musician for one night isn't going to empower you and letting some nearly 40 year old fuck head who is 12 years old emotionally with a huge sense of entitlement cause he plays drums degrade you isn't going to make you feel better about yourself and going after another girl...I mean come on over some idiot who plays a guitar who could give two shits about you and other girl!
If you want to presue your musicial passion..start a band, manage a band, start a music blog or a music photography blog, do PR for bands or promote shows.
Those are my two cents...
