About This Item
New York: St. Martin's Press. Near Fine in Near Fine dj. 1996. First Edition. Hardcover. [slight bumping to lower corners, otherwise a nice clean copy with no other discernible wear; jacket is also quite nice, with just a touch of wear at a couple of corners, and tiny tear at the bottom front hinge]. (B&W photographs) Probably the most famous groupie of all time, Ms. Des Barres, after having penned two earlier memoirs, here pivots an episodic chronicle of the variously sordid and/or tragic fates of a whole slew of rock stars, a number of which are enhanced by accounts of her own personal encounters with the subjects. Chapters are devoted to each of the following: Syd Barrett; Jan Berry; Marc Bolan; John Bonham; Kurt Cobain; Eddie Cochran; Freddie Mercury; Sam Cooke; Marvin Gaye; Jimi Hendrix; Rick James; Brian Jones; Janis Joplin; Keith Moon; Jim Morrison; Rick Nelson; Gram Parsons; Johnny Thunders; Stevie Ray Vaughan; Sid Vicious; and Dennis Wilson. (A group of shorter accounts are gathered together under the heading "Final Chapter," which discusses: Jim Gordon and Kurt Struebing; Chuck Berry; G.G. Allin; and Axl Rose. .
