4/10
mimi’s rating

Pamela Des Barres recounts her decade-long immersion in the 1960s and 70s rock scene, beginning with her move to the Sunset Strip after high school. As a member of the GTOs, a girl group managed by Frank Zappa, she navigates a world of drugs, danger, and musical revolution. Her narrative weaves together intimate encounters with icons like Mick Jagger, Jimmy Page, and Jim Morrison, alongside friendships with Robert Plant and Gram Parsons. The memoir captures the freewheeling energy of the era, blending personal confession with cultural history.
