Another interesting read. Her life is interwoven with many of my heroes of the 60's including the iron butterfly and of course the great Zep and the jimi hendrix experience. What i found of most interest was her interaction with these bands from very early on in their carreers when they were fresh faced pimply teenagers/young adults. she has someinteresting insights into frank zappa and the plaster caster gals.
I always claim i was born to late and although a product of the 60's i would actually like to have been in the california area in the mid 60's being part of the whole scene. going to the whiskey a go go and watching these bands that would move on to being superstars and a part of music to this day even.
An interesting read from the historical perspective ...not a whole whack of new info (i am an avid music historian ) .
And yes, she seems to have slept with a whole bunch of muso's as well...mebbe not as much as one would think but she cerrtainly got around , the xavier hollander of the music scene although i hasten to add the book is not pornography by any means ....
