I was born and raised here and I'm back in the Valley, I was raised in the Valley when it was Leave it to Beaver time. I was thrilled to interview both of them for this special episode on sex, drugs and rock’n’roll - 60s and 70s style! However, Pamela and Bebe are much more than arm candy to their previous paramours-these ladies are icons in their own right, and their stories make me long for a bit of free-love innocence of days gone by. Pamela and Bebe’s fabulous and vulnerable accounts of their wild times in the 1960s and 70s include them loving and leaving some of the most infamous musicians of all time: men like guitarist Jimmy Page of Led Zeppelin, Mick Jagger of the Rolling Stones, Iggy Pop, Rod Stewart, David Bowie, Jim Morrison of the Doors, Todd Rundgren, Aerosmith’s Steven Tyler - the father of Bebe’s daughter, Liv Tyler - and many more. Bebe has worked on music with the likes of Ric Ocasek of the Cars, John Taylor of Duran Duran, and Rick Derringer, and has released several records with her bands The Gargoyles, The B-Sides, and under her own name. She was discovered by modeling agent Eileen Ford and worked as a model for decades before becoming a best-selling author. The GTOs were a massive influence on bands like Alice Cooper, and their album Permanent Damage is considered a cult classic.īebe Buell is a renowned musician currently based in Nashville, TN. They were called the GTOs, or the Girls Together Outrageously. In the 1960s, she and her friends formed a band under guidance of their mentor, Frank Zappa.
She hosts a podcast called Miss Pamela’s Pajama Party, and also runs a writing workshop. Pamela des Barres is an author and educator whose written several NYTimes bestsellers. Two of my favorites are Pamela des Barres’ I’m With The Band and Bebe Buell’s Rebel Heart. I find myself turning to the same few titles over and over again whenever I need an escapist, comforting story of decadence and debauchery in days gone by. The juicier, the better!
