About This Item
New York: William Morrow and Company, 1992. 1st Edition. Hardcover. Near Fine/Near Fine. 8vo. First edtion stated. Quarter purple cloth with blue paper boards, gilt lettering to spine. Teal endpapers. 304 p.p. [8] p.p. B&W photos. Dust jacket is price clipped and darkened to edges of flaps. Pamela Des Barres spent the sexual revolution on the ramparts as the celebrated "queen of the groupies" and chronicled her adventures with the high priests of rock in I'm With the Band. This book picks up where that story left off, with Pamela's embarkation on the Hollywood brand of postmodern marriage and motherhood. The Des Barreses face the same problems as any other American family but writ large: to make ends meet, they share quarters with another struggling couple - Don Johnson and Patti D'Arbanville - and take in a boarder, ex-Sex Pistol Steve Jones. For all its famous names and insider lore, this is a survivor's story - about the anguish of coping with loved ones' addictions, about suffering divorce and loss, about the joys and terrors of raising a gifted son. A rollicking, piquant, sometimes heart-breaking document of the middle-passage of years of the baby-boom generation, and a hilarious, inspiring tussle with life's adversities.
