About the Author
Pamela Des Barres is a trailblazing memoirist and cultural icon whose vivid recollections of the rock 'n' roll scene have captivated readers for decades. Born in Los Angeles in 1948, she immersed herself in the vibrant world of 1960s and 1970s music, becoming one of the era's most notorious groupies and forging intimate connections with legends like Mick Jagger, Jim Morrison, and Frank Zappa. In her groundbreaking debut memoir, I'm with the Band: Confessions of a Groupie, Des Barres offers an unapologetic, first-person glimpse into the hedonistic underbelly of rock stardom, blending raw sensuality with sharp social observation. A pioneer in women's music writing, she has since authored additional works exploring her passions for performance, burlesque, and the creative spirit, establishing herself as a fearless voice in pop culture history.
