sad slow-paced
"Let's Spend the Night Together" by Pamela Des Barres is a foul collection of tales. At one time it was respectable to NOT kiss and tell. Imagine gaining your 15 minutes of infamy for having been a receptacle to a rock star. Some of the women in this book have made a career and a bankroll from telling and retelling their dubious claims. Got their photo taken with a musician at a public event, the photo that goes viral is cropped to remove others in the background, other photos from the same event with the musician posing with different fans aren’t publicized, and presto a myth is born! A little internet research on some of these women show their stories change over time or are simply untrue. But the public wishes to believe the scandal because it is much more titillating.

I read this at a time when I was much younger and really glamorized a lot of the situations and people in this book.
In case you ever want to know which "iconic rock gods" were creeps, freaks, or straight up pedophiles, pick up this book.
