When I was young and stupid, I thought I wanted to be a groupie and marry a rock star.
When I got older, I wanted to be a rockstar.

Now I just want to stay home and read.

This book is silly. Most of the men in the book have found new women to shack up with like Ron Wood, a few of the rockers are dead Dee Dee Ramone and Frank Zappa.

Pretty much a book for poolside on a day when you have nothing better to read. There are better books out there on this topic.

Eye-opening, funny, fearless, and honest accounts from remarkable women who make it clear that they're not just wives... everything Popbitch wished it was.

Awesome! Interviews with wives/girlfriends/groupies from 1987 - way back when Liv Tyler still thought her dad was Todd Rundgren. No, but really did everyone get with Brian Jones? Seriously!

It was pretty cool to read the stories of the female counterparts of some of my idols.
