Buell's unique memoir of her career as a groupie/superfan dishes on seminal rock musicians of the 1970s. Ex-girlfriend of Rock Deities such as Todd Rundgren, Bryan Ferry, Steven Tyler, Elvis Costello, & Stiv Bators, Bebe's account is that of an ultimate rock/punk superfan.
Like her hippie-era predecessor, GTO Pamela DesBarres, there's a tipping point in Bebe's account of her Big-Name hookups, affairs, & ongoing attempts to form her own band. As she plays camp-follower to a succession of rock/punk/metal Hot Boyz, & occasionally tries her hand at songwriting, there is a nagging sense of loss whenever Bebe focuses all of her devotion on one unworthy narcissist after another & sinks her own need for a creative outlet. This book is a fun, gossip-laden visit to the late-70s, but it is also a valuable source for those studying cultural history, popular culture, women's studies, & other humanities/social science fields.
