I'M WITH THE BAND - Confessions of a Groupie / Authior: Pamela Des Barres - R A R I T Y

In the book - I'M WITH THE BAND -, we follow the transformation of Pamela Ann Miller from small-town girl to the golden muse of some of Rock’s most formidable personalities. We read about how Miss Pamela, and her group—the GTOs, helped pave the way for girl groups and the new breed of baby groupies. The group, which was officially formed by Frank Zappa, went on to record an album called Permanent Damage in 1969. Though the album’s commercial success was limited, it was an admirable effort, which brought the spotlight to the fantastic women behind the rock movement. To me, these women showed the world what it means to really love music–to feel passion, awe, and reverence for those who produce stellar riffs and melodies.

In this book, we also learn more about the LA scene. We are made privy to the backstage secrets of some of the music industry’s biggest stars. Interspersing memories and personal anecdotes with journal entries, Miss Pamela takes us by the hand and guides us through the blossoming sense of awareness of the 1960s and the decadence and excess of the 1970s. Her delightfully candid and well-written memoir details the goings-on and the who’s who of one of the most important modern musical and spiritual revolutions in history.

To be honest, one cannot rave enough about this book. Every page should be loved. The only bad thing about this book is that it had to end.

U knjizi - I'M WITH BAND - pratimo transformaciju Pamele Ann Miller iz djevojke iz malog grada u zlatnu muzu nekih od najveličanstvenijih osobnosti rock 'n rolla . Čitamo o tome kako su gospođica Pamela i njezina skupina - GTO-i, pomogle utrti put grupama djevojaka i novoj vrsti beba grupa. Grupa, koju je službeno osnovao Frank Zappa, nastavila je snimati album pod nazivom Permanent Damage 1969. Premda je komercijalni uspjeh albuma bio ograničen, to je bio vrijedan napor koji je doveo u središte pozornost fantastične žene iza rock pokreta. Za mene su ove žene pokazale svijetu što znači stvarno voljeti glazbu – osjećati strast, strahopoštovanje i poštovanje prema onima koji proizvode zvjezdane rifove i melodije.

U ovoj knjizi također saznajemo više o LA sceni. Posvećeni smo tajnama iz kulisa nekih od najvećih zvijezda glazbene industrije. Ispreplićući sjećanja i osobne anegdote s upisima u dnevnik, gospođica Pamela nas drži za ruku i vodi kroz rascvjetani osjećaj svjesnosti 1960-ih i dekadencije i ekscesa 1970-ih. Njezini divno iskreni i dobro napisani memoari detaljno opisuju događaje i tko je tko jedne od najvažnijih modernih glazbenih i duhovnih revolucija u povijesti.

Ako želimo biti iskreni, čovjek ne može dovoljno hvaliti ovu knjigu. Svaku stranicu treba voljeti. Jedina loša stvar knjige je što je morala završiti.
