Patchy bios and anecdotes about people whose lifetime achievement has been to be of brief service to a rock star or road crew.

The prose style, especially the old diary entries, get a little hard to take after a while, but nevertheless, I couldn't stop reading. I love it that in this book Chris Hillman is on the same level as a target for her lust as was Jimmy Page or Mick Jagger or Don Johnson. We do get some very nice vignettes of the personalities and offstage sides of Mick Jagger, Keith Moon, and many others. IN some cases, they are complementary--such as Jagger--and in others, sad, as in the doomed Mr. Moon. This is a story worth reading, and I'm glad I read it. It does take you back to a different time and place.… (altro)

Much like her first vapid book, Pam plays fast and loose with facts and dates in this book which completely decimates any shred of credibility she may have ever had. In chapter 3 alone she makes the following statements:

1) She states Robert Plant's son died before Detective's album was released, which was in April 1977. However Karac Plant passed away in July 1977, 3 months after the album release.
2) She states Tony Geary was on General Hospital in 1977 when she had an acting role on the show (which is not listed on her IMDB profile), but he did not join the cast until 1978.
3) She states she went to Vegas to see Elvis in 1977, right after the book by his bodyguards came out (which was definitely 1977.) However Elvis NEVER played Vegas in 1977. His last show there was in 1976.

I could continue on with plentiful more examples from throughout the book. Making false statements renders this book and her other books entirely unbelievable.

Histrionic and emotionally breathless tales of a rock'n'roll groupie. She "likes" Gram Parsons, Jimmie Page, Jim Morrison and Mick Jagger. She doesn't like Paul McCartney (altho he was an idol from her pre-teen days. She's over-sexed and an emotional basketcase most of the time. Still, a useful, unique look at the 60s and 70s from a woman's point of view.
