A few paragraphs from Miss Pamela's book:
The rock and roll girls were getting younger, and I was no good at competing. They hated me because I had been there first, and they called me awful names at Rodney Bingenheimer's English Disco, "old" being the most popular odious declaration of loathing. I let them get to me; they told me I was over the hill, and I looked in the mirror, inspecting my twenty-five-year-old face for early stages of decrepitness. The most hideous of these tartlets was Sable Starr. She thought she invented nipples and pubic hair. At an Elton John party on the lot at Universal, she shouted out to me, "Give it up, you old bag." I flipped her the bird right in front of the newest piano playing wunderkind. This behavior conflicted with my holy rose-colored thinking, but I believed the GTO's had paved the way for these infant upstarts, and I thought they should show me some kind of respect, or at least recognition for my groundbreaking Strip-walking efforts. Needless to say, they didn't show me jack-sh*t.
Robert Plant did an interview in Rolling Stone that put these puppies in their place. "It's a shame to see these young chicks bungle their lives away in a flurry - to rush to compete with what was in the good old days, the good-time relationships we had with the GTO's... when it came to looning they could give us as much of a looming as we could give them."
I just lovelovelove Pamela and her book. She had/has a heart of gold and I consider her the original groupie. I don't know that much about Sable Starr or Penny Lane but I know she leaps and bounds over Bebe Buell, which isn't saying I don't like Bebe (her book was good too)... I just like Pamela better. She ruled the lot!!
hHhHaaaahahahahHHHhhhaaaaa
Aww, just look at her face, it looks like she's so in love with him.
