Pamela Des Barres' "Rock Bottom" deals with, as the subtitle announces, "dark moments in music Babylon." The book has pieces written about rockers ranging from the megapopular Jim Morrison and Kurt Cobain to obscure legends like Gram Parsons and G.G. Allin. The book has a chapter devoted to Johnny Thunders that is fairly informative. Even though the book is an entertaining read, books of these sorts are highly sensationalized. If there was an essential quality to Johnny Thunders (like his demeanor, his guitar style, or "Born to Lose"), it is not present in Des Barres' prose. The most obvious lasting legacy of Thunders was his music, which Des Barres pays very little attention to, only commenting on it if it was a "chart success" or not. Her chapter on Thunders' is a highly condensed version of the story of his life, focusing specifically on the darker aspects of his lifestyle, of which there were many (and to which the book's thesis was devoted to). Even though she does not detail the origins of his heroin addiction the way Nina Antonia does (in her book "Too Much Too Soon"), she provides some information that I was not aware of. I did not know of the mysterious circumstances surrounding his death in New Orleans in 1991. In an interview with Thunders' sister, Marion, she says, "I believe there was foul play," adding, "[from his room] his suits were missing, the money, his passport, all his stage makeup, everything. Nothing was recovered . The police didn't even rope off the area." Marion also claims that the New Orleans Police Department has only half of the police report. Apparently, the other half is missing. Adding to the confusion, the coroner's report said that Thunders' had leukemia (he only six weeks left to live, the doctor told her), and there were traces of methadone in his system. It is not clear whether the methadone reacted adversely with his body. Also, I did not know Thunders was married or that he had three children (two with his wife). This story ends up sadly as well. Thunders' wife Julie, fed up with his junkie business, left him in 1981. She took their children with her (at the time, their son Dino was only three months old). Thunders never saw his children again for the rest of his life. The remainder of the chapter is filled with easily attainable information about Thunders from any Rock N' Roll History Book. One disappointing aspect of the piece, which is thirteen pages long, is that it spends less than three whole pages discussing his time in the New York Dolls. The chapter owes more to the fact that he lived way beyond his conceivable expiration date rather than presence as a highly influential guitarist, singer and songwriter. This short piece is recommended to any new fans just discovering the music of the New York Dolls or Johnny Thunders, but for hardcore fans, it is a quick read with a couple of interesting facts but missing entirely the dynamics at work in his life and his music. Pamela Des Barres – Net Worth, Ex-Husband (Michael), Children, Bio, Books. Pamela Des Barres (born Pamela Ann Miller) is an American rock music groupie and writer who has written for Cosmopolitan, Rolling Stone, and the New York Times.

The band was active for two and a half years. Their album, titled – ”Permanent Damage,” was produced in 1969 by Frank Zappa with the assistance of Russ Titelman and Lowell George. Due to some of its members being arrested and detained for drug possession, Girls Together Outrageously dissolved 30 days after the release of their album. Search for Tomorrow. It is an American television soap opera that was first written by Agnes Nixon and was created by Roy Winsor. ”Search for Tomorrow” began its run on CBS on September 3, 1951.

A documentary titled – ”Let’s Spend the Night Together: Confessions of Rock’s Greatest Groupies” was released in 2010. In the documentary, she traveled the United States in a fascinating journey to reconnect with the iconic women who inspired and loved some famous rock stars of our time. Husband. On October 29, 1977, Pamela Des Barres married Michael Des Barres, an English actor and rock singer who released a solo album, named – ”The Key to the Universe.” © Guliver / Getty Images. In 1989, Michael appeared with actor Clint Eastwood in the movie Pink Cadillac. In 1972, he formed his first band Silverhead. However, the couple divorced on July 18, 1991. Michael Des Barres later said: ”Pamela and I were married for 14 years. It was a very rough 14 years. I was addicted to drugs. I was on the road. I succumbed to every temptation known to man.” Children. The couple has a son, named Nick Des Barres who was born on September 30, 1978. Height. Pamela is 5′ 3″ (1,6 m) tall. Quotes. ”I was never harmed. I considered myself a feminist. I was doing what I wanted to do. That’s what a feminist is.” ”Mick Jagger pursued me, but I was seeing someone else at that time.” ”The fact is that we all get our heartbroken, I just got mine broken my Jimmy Page.” ”I’m really proud that I was able to express myself in the book. It was the first time you could do that as a woman, in our timeframe.” ”The people I knew and the places I’ve gone, people still can’t believe it.” ”I realized, I’m not going to end up with Mick Jagger, so I just had several joyous, fun romps with him.” ”I don’t believe in regrets because there’s nothing you can do about it and it’s like banging your head against the wall.” “A groupie is someone who loves the music so much she wants to be around the people who make it.” “I was just doing what felt natural to me.” Trivia. Des Barres kissed murderer and former Manson Family member Bobby Beausoleil (he received the death sentence for killing his friend Gary Hinman) in Golden Gate Park during his pre-Manson days. Pamela had affairs with rock stars such as Jimmy Page and Mick Jagger. ”At one point I thought Jimmy Page might be the one.” In a different interview, she said: “People are always trying to make me say that musicians abused me and used me, and it just didn’t happen.” Des Barres later added: “I’ve said that all along. It was equal. There was an equal exchange of love and energy and fun between us and the musicians.” She was one inspiration for the character Penny Lane, who was played by Kate Hudson in the movie Almost Famous, a 2000 American film that tells the story of a teenage journalist writing for Rolling Stone in the early 1970s.

  • From Straight to Bizarre Zappa, Beefheart, Alice Cooper and LA's
    From Straight To Bizarre Zappa, Beefheart, Alice Cooper And LA's Lunatic Fringe Sexy Intellectual DVD This considered examination of the eccentric landscape of the infamous Bizarre/Straight catalogue makes for compleling viewing and with a running time of some two hours and 40 minutes the film gives its subject the screen time it so richly deserves. Created by Zappa and Mothers manager Herb Cohen in 1968 as a release outlet specialising in the weird, the wonderful and the strictly non mainstream following Zappa's clashes with his former label MGM over the old stumblig block of artistic control the extraordinary Bizarre/Straight story is infamous for having given the world such unforgettable cultural landmarks as An Evening With Wild Man Fischer and Trout Mask Replica. With Zappa operating as LA's resident king of the freaks from his Laurel Canyon hideaway, the documentary chronicles the labels groundbreaking appetite for assembling a notorious roster of misfits including The GTOs, Wild Man Fischer, Captain Beefheart & The Magic Band, Lenny Bruce, Lord Buckley, Tim Buckley, accappella gospel group The Persuasions and the labels greatest commercial success Alice Cooper via the input of interviewees including Pamela Des Barres, Kim Fowley, Bill Harkleroad, John French, Neal Smith, Dennis Dunaway, Jeff Simmons and an impressive array of vintage performance footage. While the Bizarre/Straight era represented a unique chapter in the annals of the late 60s and early 70s the thrust of the film's critical commentary is that if the entire Bizarre/Straight operation had only given the world Trout Mask Replica it would still have more than have achieved its goal.

I have only included text. If you wish to view the embedded photos please refer to the web site. gdm “There's something happening here, What it is ain't exactly clear” Join me now, if you have the time, as we take a stroll down memory lane to a time nearly four- and-a-half decades ago – a time when America last had uniformed ground troops fighting a sustained and bloody battle to impose, uhmm, ‘democracy’ on a sovereign nation. It is the first week of August, 1964, and U.S. warships under the command of U.S. Navy Admiral George Stephen Morrison have allegedly come under attack while patrolling Vietnam’s Tonkin Gulf. This event, subsequently dubbed the ‘Tonkin Gulf Incident,’ will result in the immediate passing by the U.S. Congress of the obviously pre-drafted Tonkin Gulf Resolution, which will, in turn, quickly lead to America’s deep immersion into the bloody Vietnam quagmire. Before it is over, well over fifty thousand American bodies – along with literally millions of Southeast Asian bodies – will litter the battlefields of Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia. For the record, the Tonkin Gulf Incident appears to differ somewhat from other alleged provocations that have driven this country to war. This was not, as we have seen so many times before, a ‘false flag’ operation (which is to say, an operation that involves Uncle Sam attacking himself and then pointing an accusatory finger at someone else).

    “You Are Your Own Alternative”: Performance, Pleasure, and the American Counterculture, 1965-1975 Mark Joseph Abraham A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY GRADUATE PROGRAM IN HISTORY YORK UNIVERSITY TORONTO, ONTARIO 9 May 2014 © Mark Joseph Abraham, 2014 Abstract “You Are Your Own Alternative” examines influential countercultural groups in the 1960s and 1970s. In opposition to historians who dismiss the politics of the counterculture and blame the counterculture for contributing to the collapse of social movement activism in the late 1960s and early 1970s, this dissertation highlights the intensely political and productive aspects of the counterculture. With case studies that focus on the Los Angeles Freaks, the San Francisco Diggers, the New York Yippies, and the lesbian feminists of Olivia Records, “You Are Your Own Alternative” demonstrates that the counterculture offered powerful political and performative challenges in this period. Countercultural activists valorized free expressions of sexuality; outlandishly adorned bodies; complex music; theatrical celebrations of community; and free access to collective resources like food, clothing, and health care. They staged participatory performance-based protests intended to seduce passersby into experiencing new paradigms of human interaction and expression. In joining in to act out, countercultural activists argued, new converts would discover, through performance and pleasure, their

  • Michael Des Barres – Carnaby Street
    Michael Des Barres is probably not a name that most readers will be familiar with, yet most everyone knows him. Des Barres has a new band, and a great new rocking album called Carnaby Street, that is not what most would expect from a 64 year old man. River City Tanlines is a three piece rock band from Memphis, led by singer/guitarist/songwriter Alicja Trout, who’s signature guitar is a white Gibson Flying V. Coast To Coast is River City Tanlines’ ( a river city tanline is what is also known as a farmer tan) second full length album since the band’s formation in 2004, and it’s the best thing that they have ever recorded. Jon Lord, best known as keyboardist and founding member of Deep Purple, passed away July 16 from a pulmonary embolism at 71. Lord is often overlooked and underappreciated for his achievements. He was responsible for introducing the Hammond organ to rock music as well as pioneering the fusion of classical and rock music. Lord was also a founding member of Whitesnake, and he had numerous side projects, but for now, we’ll be taking a look at the second incarnation of Deep Purple. Michael Des Barres – Carnaby Street Michael Des Barres has been a lead singer in several bands, including the early 70’s glam rock band Silverhead and the criminally overlooked hard rock band Detective, that was signed to Led Zeppelin’s Swan Song label in the mid‐70’s, and included ex‐members of Yes and Steppenwolf . The huge 80’s hit Obsession by Animotion, was a cover of Des Barres’ song that he had recorded with Holly Knight.

It arrived unbidden, and within moments we were knee deep in Laurel Canyon,tripping our asses off, staring at the burning embers of a fire while some longhair guitarist tossed off a Donovan riff and talked about metaphysical stuff. David Crosby teaches us how to roll the perfect joint; Credit: Randall Roberts. Canyon of Dreams was written by longtime Canyon of Dreams: The Magic and the Music of Laurel Canyon music historian and writer Harvey Kubernik, and tackles the vast history of Laurel Canyon, from the earliest efforts to carve a community into the hills, to the birth of the jazz age, through the 50s-era cocktail era, the surf scene and, of course, the doped-up hippie years that birthed the country rock movement. The book is as much a photo book as a prose book; each page is lavishly Canyon of Dreams: The Magic and the Music of Laurel Canyon with gorgeous shots of a long-gone Los Angeles. Postcards sit next to cocktail lounge matchbooks, fliers, tickets, handbills, newspaper ads — evidence of not only another time, but another mindset.
